Abstract Biopsies for personalized cancer care can be performed with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) guidance, but manual needle manipulation remains an issue due to X-ray exposure to physicians. Modern CBCT scanners integrate today real-time imaging and software assistance for needle planning. In this paper, these available features are exploited to design a novel device offering an intermediate level of assistance between simple passive mechanical devices of limited efficiency, and advanced robotic devices requiring adapted procedure workflows. Our resulting system is built to limit its impact on the current manual practice. It is patient-mounted and provides remote control of needle orientation and insertion. A multilayer phantom is specifically developed to reproduce interactions between the needle and soft abdominal tissues. It is used to experimentally evaluate the device added value by comparing assisted versus manual needle insertions. The device is shown to help reducing X-ray exposure by a factor 4, without impacting the accuracy obtained manually.
