Title
A real-time electrical impedance sensing biopsy needle.
Abstract
Diagnostic confirmation of cancer in solid organs is based on biopsy findings. In a standard 12-core prostate biopsy protocol, conventional biopsy needles sample only 0.95% (~0.228 cm3) of a typical 24-cm3 prostate gland. The primary objective of this study was to enhance the sensitivity of standard biopsy protocol by gauging electrical properties of tissue simultaneously with tissue extraction fo...
