A tactile imaging sensor developed by a Temple engineering professor may assist doctors when they feel an irregularity during a physical exam. "Once a doctor feels a lesion, lump or tumor, they can use this device to characterize the mechanical properties of the irregularity," said Chang-Hee Won. "Using the information gleaned by our device, we can determine the probability of this lesion or tumor being either malignant or benign."
