Hello, I am trying to make a biomechanical model of the prostate gland using the COMSOL software and I am searching for proper biomechanical properties of the prostate for accurate modeling.
Could anyone help me in this task?
I need this characteristics:
1) tissue density
2) Young's modulus
3) Poisson's ratio
4) Permeability
5) Biot-Willis coeficcient
6) Porosity
7) Permeability
Thank you in advance!!
