According to a new study, a breast biopsy guidance system can reduce inspection time, reduce patient discomfort, and reduce morbidity.
Researchers at the Robarts Institute in Canada, the University of Western Ontario in Canada and the London Health Science Center have jointly developed a new breast biopsy guidance system consisting of an electronic tracking robotic arm and braking system. The system is attached to an ultrasound transducer and the biopsy needle is accessed through the arm. Experienced and inexperienced radiologists underwent ultrasound-guided biopsy of the breast lesions, comparing the effects of the system under the guidance of the system and not guided by the system, including the time of examination and the size of the tip from the heated site.
The researchers found that the success rate of using the guided system success rate and not using the guiding system were 95.9% and 91.3%, respectively; the experienced radiology department performed the operation time of about 31 seconds, but when using the guiding system, they reduced the operation time by about 10 Seconds.
An article describing the new technology and experimental results was published in the June 2009 issue of the American magazine Roentgenology. Shanghai Medical Device Industry Association
