A Pneumatically Actuated Target Stabilization Device for MRI-Guided Breast Biopsy
Abstract
This paper introduces a novel tissue stabilization device for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided breast biopsy. The device is comprised of two pneumatically actuated support plates that would stabilize the biopsy target movements during needle insertion. An optimized geometry for the support plates allows for a good degree of tissue stabilization without relying on large compression forces. The plate configuration can also be adjusted …
