Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) aids breast cancer diagnosis and surgical planning. A novel MRI-guided biopsy technique uses internal fiducial markers for precise needle placement, simplifying localization of suspicious lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Oncology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly utilized in breast cancer diagnosis.
  • MRI applications include detecting primary breast tumors in patients with axillary lymph node metastasis, refining surgical plans for biopsy-proven cancers, and screening high-risk individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel MRI-guided needle localization and biopsy technique for suspicious breast lesions detected by MRI.
  • To introduce a biopsy device with integrated internal fiducial markers for precise coordinate calculation.

Main Methods:

  • The study details a biopsy device featuring embedded internal fiducial markers.
  • Needle placement coordinates are determined by measuring distances between these fiducial markers and the target lesion.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The technique's ease of mastery is emphasized, supported by the use of a practice phantom.

    • Main Results:

    • The described technique offers a straightforward method for MRI-guided breast lesion localization and biopsy.
    • The use of internal fiducial markers simplifies the calculation of needle placement coordinates.
    • A practice phantom facilitates learning and mastering the procedure.

    Conclusions:

    • This MRI-guided biopsy approach provides a simple and effective method for localizing suspicious breast lesions.
    • The integrated fiducial marker system enhances accuracy in needle placement for biopsy.
    • The technique is readily learnable and applicable in clinical settings for improved breast cancer diagnosis and management.
