Imaging properties of 3D printed breast phantoms for lesion localization and Core needle biopsy training
Journal Title: 3D Printing in Medicine - Year 2020, Vol 6, Issue
Abstract
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in females and frequently requires core needle biopsy (CNB) to guide management. Adequate training resources for CNB suffer tremendous limitations in reusability, accurate simulation of breast tissue, and cost. The relatively recent advent of 3D printing offers an alternative for the development of breast phantoms for training purposes. However, the feasibility of this technology for the purpose of ultrasound (US) guided breast intervention has not been thoroughly studied.
