Embodiment Construction
[0050] Embodiments of the invention relate to cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems. CBCT offers many improvements over prior art methods, including allowing earlier detection of smaller lesions than is possible with existing methods and devices. When a lesion is detected, a biopsy procedure can be used to sample tissue in order to characterize whether a tumor is present and, more specifically, whether the tumor appears to be metastatic. Percutaneous large gauge needle core biospy (NCB) is an accepted alternative to surgical biopsy in some settings. Methods and systems for lesion detection and biopsy with a CBCT system are described herein.
