摘要:
A needle guidance assembly for constraining and guiding an interventional needle is provided. The needle guidance assembly includes a needle guide having opposing lever arms. Jaws of the opposing lever arms form a guide bore configured to receive an interventional needle and orient the needle with respect to, for example, an imaging probe. Constraining the needle within the imaging field of the probe allows for real-time monitoring during insertion of the interventional needle into patient tissue. In addition, the needle guidance assembly is angularly positionable relative to the image field to allow advancement of the needle to a target site within the imaging field.
