N2 - We describe here a palpation-based needle insertion method for diagnostic biopsy and treatment of breast cancer. The mechanical palpation probe locates cancerous tissue from force information and reduces tissue displacement during needle insertion. We compared palpation-based needle insertion to normal needle insertion by numerical simulation of a breast tissue model and by experiments in vitro. The data showed palpation-based needle insertion had a smaller error in both tests. Our findings suggest the procedure is a safe, effective alternative to traditional methods of breast tissue biopsy.
