The robot can complete the biopsy during the MRI in a more accurate and efficient way which will be beneficial in obtaining a safe biopsy of a specific breast lesion. mwilkerson31 https://padlet.com/mwilkerson31/breastbiopsyrobot/wish/270731196 2018-07-21 01:33:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilkerson31/breastbiopsyrobot/wish/270731196 Pros mwilkerson31 https://padlet.com/mwilkerson31/breastbiopsyrobot/wish/270731478 Using a MRI machine instead of the current practice of using an ultrasound machine or guide wire, reveals a better picture the breast lesion during a biopsy procedure.  Using a robot for obtaining a breast biopsy at a specific location inside the breast can be calculated more accurately with the use of depth and measurements during the MRI. ]]> 2018-07-21 01:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilkerson31/breastbiopsyrobot/wish/270731478 Cons mwilkerson31 https://padlet.com/mwilkerson31/breastbiopsyrobot/wish/270731479 Malfunction of retrieving needle of biopsy robot could possibly result in failure to retrieve biopsy. This could result in an additional biopsy and more discomfort and worry for the patient. With use of a robot biopsy instead of a human hand, it could present complications such as accurate angle of approach or possible resistance of tissue that requires additional pressure that would only be recognized by a human hand. ]]> 2018-07-21 01:43:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilkerson31/breastbiopsyrobot/wish/270731479 Personal Opinion mwilkerson31 https://padlet.com/mwilkerson31/breastbiopsyrobot/wish/270731482 Personally, with my experience working with breast surgeons, having the most accurate method of retrieving a breast biopsy of a suspicious lesion is crucial. Fine wire localization biopsies can result in wrong areas biopsied and ultrasound guided breast biopsies cannot provide the accuracy that a MRI guided biopsy could. I would recommend this method of MRI guided biopsy even if it takes the actual biopsy out of the hands of a specialized surgeon and into the care of a robot. A MRI guided biopsy can provide a much more accurate picture for biopsy site which will in turn provide the diagnosis needed for accurate and fast treatment, if any is needed.]]> 2018-07-21 01:43:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mwilkerson31/breastbiopsyrobot/wish/270731482
