| Abstract | This broader impact of this I-Corps project is the development of a device to guide needle insertion in medical procedures. Current methods for cancer diagnosis require either an open surgical biopsy or a minimally invasive needle biopsy. Needle biopsies are typically safer for patients, but can be technically challenging to perform, as the needle has to be passed deep into the body and directed into the tumor. Needles are also used in the medical treatment for spinal pain, which is often a spin |
