Established tumour treatments include drugs and the emerging class of cell-based therapies. Individual tumours can counteract the delivery of the therapy, for example, they can feature high internal pressures (IFP) caused by blood vessels that are different from normal tissues. Furthermore, a drop in IFP is a well-established marker for successful therapy. Here we demonstrate in simulations, phantom experiments, fatty breast tissue, and a benign breast lesion that tissue biomechanics as quantified via MR-Elastography (MRE) allows in combination with non-linear mechanics to estimate IFP in absolute units non-invasively.
