  • Publication number: 20250213234
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a biopsy needle module using medical imaging equipment, the biopsy needle module being inserted into a biopsy area of a patient to do a biopsy. The biopsy needle module comprises: a needle part (110), made of high-strength and super-elastic material, having overlapping inner needle (113) and outer needle (111); a curved needle frame (120) curving in a perpendicular direction and having, in the front, a needle front end-exposing hole (123a) through which the front end of the needle part (110) is exposed to the outside, and, in the rear, a curved rail (125) that is open along the curved surface; and a needle guide (130), coupled so as to slide along the curved rail (125) of the curved needle frame (120), for supporting, in a straight line, the back end of the needle part (110) the front end of which is inserted in the needle front end-exposing hole (123a), and guiding the needle part (110), in a curved state, in moving forward and backward along the curved needle frame (120).
