Ultrasonic Needles for Bone Biopsy [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control, 2017
Bone biopsy is an invasive clinical procedure, where a bone sample is recovered for analysis during the diagnosis of a medical condition. When the architecture of the bone tissue is required to be preserved, a core-needle biopsy is taken. Although this procedure is performed while the patient is under local anaesthesia, the patient can still experience
