Quantification of prostate deformation due to needle insertion during TRUS‐guided biopsy: Comparison of hand‐held and mechanically stabilized systems

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Given the clinical need to biopsy tumors of volume greater than or equal to 0.5 cm3, corresponding to spherical tumors with a radius of 5 mm or more, the tissue motion induced by needle insertion and gun firing is an important consideration when setting the design specifications for TRUS-guided prostate biopsy systems.
