Low-Cost Phantom for Stereotactic Breast Biopsy Training

¹ All authors: Radiology Department, University of Alabama Hospital, 619 19th Street South, Birmingham, AL 35249.

OBJECTIVE. This article reports on the construction of a low-cost phantom to be used for training technologists, residents, and radiologists to perform stereotactic breast biopsy. The model is adaptable to a variety of biopsy devices and realistically simulates the aspects of stereotactic breast biopsy.

CONCLUSION. We believe our model provides an excellent alternative to more expensive commercial products.

Keywords: biopsy • breast • breast cancer • phantom • stereotactic breast biopsy
