Researchers have developed a new breast biopsy technique that could lead to decreased procedure times, and reduced patient discomfort and morbidity, according to a new study. The new technique uses a mechanical arm to guide the needle for the biopsy, and has a braking system to allow for accurate placement of the needle and to avoid needle motion.
