Breast MRI Biopsy Positioning and Immobilization Device

This project has been secured to protect intellectual property.

Our goal is to create a device that will make MRI-guided biopsy increase set-up efficiency and more accessible to aid in early detection for patients of less dense breast tissue.

Project Overview

The reusable device is going to provide diverse lateral or medial compression to breast tissues of all sizes, ranging from A to DD cup sizes, in an efficient manner that decreases scan set-up time and to obtain precise biopsies on patients with less dense breast tissue.
