Abstract

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a biopsy needle device comprising a biopsy needle attachment mechanism arranged to mechanically couple a biopsy needle to the biopsy needle device, an actuator mechanism comprising a transducer configured to interconnect electrical signals at one port to mechanical motion at another port, the actuator mechanism configured to transmit flexural vibration to the biopsy needle when the biopsy needle is coupled to the biopsy needle device, a sensor device configured to measure a power of the flexural vibration transmitted to the biopsy needle via the transducer and a reflected power of flexural vibration received by the biopsy needle device from the biopsy needle, and circuitry configured to determine a difference between the power of the flexural vibration transmitted to the biopsy needle and the reflected power of flexural vibration received by the biopsy needle device from the biopsy needle.
