3D-printing inherently MRI-visible accessories in aiding MRI-guided biopsies
Our proposed method of manufacturing objects that are inherently both MRI safe, and MRI visible. The proposed process is simple and does not require additional materials and tools beyond a DLP 3D-printer. With only an inexpensive DLP 3D-printer kit and basic cleaning and sanitation materials found in the hospital, we have demonstrated the viability of our process by successfully creating an object containing fine structures with low spatial tolerances used for MRI-guided breast biopsies.
