3D-printed plastic bot can take biopsies inside an MRI scanner

Engineers at the University of Twente have developed a new biopsy robot made from 3D-printed plastic. This allows it to operate inside a MRI scanner so accurate biopsies can be taken with real-time visualization of the abnormal tissue. It’s hoped the device will offer doctors a new way to accurately biopsy and diagnose breast cancer in its early stages.
