[0019] In order to better understand the purpose, structure and function of the utility model, the coaxial biopsy needle for reducing CT artifacts will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0020] As Figure 1 shown, the coaxial biopsy needle for reducing CT artifacts comprises an inner needle tube assembly, the inner needle tube assembly comprises a rear needle seat 1, an inner needle tube 2, an inner core needle 3 and a three-ribbed needle head 4, the rear needle seat 1 is fixedly connected with the inner needle tube 2 through glue, the inner needle tube 2 is a hollow structure, the material is metal, the tail of the three-ribbed needle head 4 is a hollow structure, one end of the inner core needle 3 is fixed in the inner needle tube 2, and the other end is fixed in the three-ribbed needle head 4, the material of the inner core needle 3 is non-metal, and the three-ribbed needle head 4 and the inner needle tube 2 are fixedly bonded through welding or glue.

[0021] It is known that the metal appears artifacts in the electronic computer tomography image because the high-density characteristics of the metal cause great attenuation difference with the surrounding human tissues, thereby causing artifacts on the image.

[0022] The following table is the comparison of the density of human tissues and materials:

[0023] Tissue / material Liver Spleen Kidney Pancreas Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) Polycarbonate (PC) Polyimide (PI) Density (g / cm3) 1.05 1.05 1.08 1.05-1.1 1.32 1.2 1.4

[0024] The density of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material is generally around 1.32 g / cm³. The CT value of PEEK under CT scans is not a fixed value, but is usually close to the CT value of human soft tissue. Generally, its CT value is between 40-80 HU (Henness units).

[0025] Polycarbonate (PC) has a density that differs somewhat from that of human tissue, but the difference is relatively small.

[0026] The density of polyimide (PI) differs somewhat from that of human tissue, but the difference is relatively small.

[0027] Therefore, in order to reduce artifacts generated by the inner needle tube 2 during CT scanning, this invention makes the inner needle tube 2 hollow, reducing the metal content. By fixing a solid inner core needle 3 inside the hollow inner needle tube 2, the overall strength of the needle tube is ensured, while the material of the inner core needle 3 reduces artifacts generated during CT scanning. The preferred material of the inner core needle 3 is polyetheretherketone (PEEK).

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention provides a coaxial biopsy needle for reducing CT artifacts, which also includes an outer needle tube assembly and an inner needle tube assembly. The inner needle tube assembly is fitted inside the outer needle tube assembly and is coaxially arranged with the outer tube assembly. During puncture, the outer tube assembly and the inner needle tube assembly enter the human tissue together. After reaching the lesion site, the inner needle tube assembly is withdrawn to perform other surgical operations.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer needle tube assembly includes a front needle seat 5 and an outer needle tube 6, which are fixedly connected by adhesive. The outer needle tube 6 is hollow, and the rear needle seat 1 is fixedly connected to the front needle seat 5 by threads. Figure 4 As shown, the front needle seat 5 has a channel in the middle for the inner needle tube 2 to pass through, the front needle seat 5 has a Luer head 51 at the tail, and the inner wall of the rear needle seat 1 has an internal thread 11. After the inner needle tube 2 passes through the front needle seat 5 and the outer needle tube 6, the front needle seat 5 is rotated and fixed to the internal thread 11 of the rear needle seat 1 through the Luer head 51.
