consideration of the minimum error of the estimates of tumor elastic modulus, the hypothetical hyperelastic parameters have been chosen. The parameters achieved in the previous and next iterations do not straightly converge to the real hyperelastic parameters of the tumor by the use of the iterative sensitivity-matrix based algorithm.
