Abstract
© 2018 Mahidol University, Salaya, Nakhon Pathom, Thailand Objective: This paper proposes the development of a breast biopsy navigation system with an assisted needle holder tool for a coaxial needle and a graphical user interface, which utilizes an optical tracking device to localize the needle position relative to the ultrasound image with the aim to improve performance especially for a new radiologist or an inexperienced group. Materials and methods: The system consists of an assisted needle holder tool, which as an attachment for the 2D ultrasound transducer and the graphical user interface (GUI) that shows the needle pathway, needle line and warning signs. An optical tracking system is used to track the needle motion, ultrasound image and transform all information to with respect to the technique. The system is evaluated using a phantom made from gel candle. There were nine experienced and eight inexperienced participants who performed the breast biopsy intervention, using three methods: the freehand method, only the needle holder tool guidance, and the whole navigation guidance (GUI + assisted needle holder). Results: The results demonstrate a success rate of over 90% using only assisted needle holder and the whole system to perform breast biopsy for the experienced and inexperienced groups, whereas for the inexperienced group a success rate of 57.5% was achieved using the freehand method. The use of only assisted needle holder for breast biopsy reduces the time for a procedure in the inexperienced group by 6 s when compared to the freehand method. Conclusion: The authors believe that this navigation system can be applied in a clinical setting and give an advantage to inexperienced radiologists who must successfully perform clinical breast biopsy.
