Health is a unity and harmony within the mind, body and spirit which is unique to each person, and is as defined by that person. The level of wellness or health is, in part, determined by the ability to deal with and defend against stress. Health is determined by physiological, psychological, socio-cultural, spiritual, and developmental stage variables.

A new ultrasound technique - elastography - would enable doctors identify the harmless breast lumps and cancer instantly, without performing biopsy, developed by researchers from Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine, USA.

The technique, called "elastography" that measures how easily breast lumps compress and bounce back, would help doctors tell the difference between harmless and malignant lumps in women's breasts.

The findings were reported at the Radiological Society of North America's annual meeting in Chicago this week.
