Abstract

Biopsy puncture is commonly used to extract the suspected tissue of cancer for cytological diagnosis. However, the low accuracy and poor performance instability of puncture sample can lead to misdiagnosis. For this problem, the technology of vibration assisted was applied in the process of soft tissue puncture in this paper. The influence of process parameters on the puncture performances were investigated and analyzed. The results indicate that the method of vibration assisted has significant advantages on the puncture performances compared with conventional puncture. The fracture toughness is increased with the increase of insertion velocity and vibration frequency. And, the needle deflection is decreased with the increase of vibration frequency. The conclusions prompt the application of vibration assisted puncture technology in clinical practice.
