An active marker improves MR-guided breast biopsies, offering enhanced accuracy and reduced procedure times. This innovation streamlines the biopsy process for better patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is crucial for breast cancer diagnosis.
  • MR-guided breast biopsies require precise targeting for accurate tissue sampling.
  • Traditional methods can be time-consuming and complex.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the benefits of an active marker (active micro coil) in MR-guided breast biopsies.
  • To evaluate the impact of the active marker on accuracy, handling, and procedure time.

Main Methods:

  • An active marker was integrated into a breast biopsy guidance device.
  • A dedicated MRI sequence and custom software were used for planning and verification.
  • Needle placement accuracy was measured using X-ray in phantoms.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Procedure reliability and workflow were evaluated in phantom studies.

    • Main Results:

    • The active marker demonstrated high accuracy, with a root mean square deviation of 1.25 mm (perpendicular) and 1.35 mm (3D).
    • All targeted lesions were successfully sampled in phantom biopsies.
    • The average duration for a phantom biopsy using the active marker was nine minutes.

    Conclusions:

    • Active markers significantly enhance MR-guided breast biopsy procedures.
    • Advantages include improved handling, reduced procedure time, and increased accuracy.
    • This technology shows promise for optimizing breast biopsy workflows.
