First experience with a new dedicated ultrasound system for computer-guided large-core breast biopsy

Abstract: We describe a new dedicated ultrasound system for computer-guided large core breast biopsy (LCBB) and report our first clinical experience in 45 female patients. After an initial 30 biopsy procedures on a US breast phantom, LCBB using this new system was performed in 45 non-palpable surgically verified breast lesions. All biopsies were performed by the same radiologist using 14-gauge long-throw biopsy needles. Histological results following LCBB were compared with open surgical biopsy. Procedure time and any c… Show more

“…This technique is considered safe and may be particularly useful for clinicians who are inexperienced in free-hand positioning of the biopsy needle or for those working in centers where breast biopsy is rarely required [73,76]. However, the value of this new technique remains to be determined by large comparative studies.…”

“…In order to improve the accuracy of US-LCNB, some investigators have proposed an apparatus that combines the features of stereotactic guidance and US-LCNB with the benefits of 3D US [73,76]. This technique is considered safe and may be particularly useful for clinicians who are inexperienced in free-hand positioning of the biopsy needle or for those working in centers where breast biopsy is rarely required [73,76].…”

“…Elastic moduli of the phantoms are determined by an exponential fit of the stress -strain curve [15]. Using the notation in [15] the stress -strain relationship is given by b~( emE 1 m (10) where an is the nominal stress and 'En is the nominal strain. b* and m are the exponential fit parameters.…”

“…To correct these deflection errors, limited steering may be achieved by manipulating the needle base [2] or the tip bevel direction [3]. Several groups have implemented computer and robotic assistance to align the needle with the target [4,5,6,7,8,9] assuming known target location in 3D, patient immobilization, and a straight needle path.…”
