摘要：
The system and method of the invention pertains to an MR-guided breast biopsy procedure, specifically as to real-time tracking and navigation of a biopsy device. More particularly, the system utilizes a diagnostic imaging modality such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to locate lesions in a human breast while utilizing an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to track advancement of a biopsy device in real-time. The invention simplifies the workflow of MRI-guided breast biopsies, shortens the time needed to perform the biopsy, decreases cost, and increases accuracy. This is achieved by enabling real-time visualization of the biopsy device as it advances towards the targeted lesion.
