Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) was a relatively uncommon disease process when we relied on palpation to detect breast lesions. With the advent of more widespread mammography screenings, the surgeon is faced with a welcome opportunity to prevent cancer by dealing with a precursor lesion. Discovering
The use of models in giving meaning to sense data is described. It is shown that models are essential to human understanding, but that there are no uniquely 'best' models. This leads to the discussion of the design of suitable models for engineering use. The role of physical and mathematical models
