Embodiment Construction

[0071] figure 1 A perspective view of an example of an apparatus comprising a biopsy device according to an embodiment of the invention and adapted to perform a biopsy method according to an embodiment of the invention is shown. There is a patient table 8 on which the patient can lie and which is movable for access to the equipment 7 including the biopsy system and the imaging system.

[0072] This device 7 comprising a biopsy system and an imaging system comprises a radiation source 4, a detector 2, here used as part of a breast support. Biopsy holder 66 holds biopsy sampler guide 6 . Biopsy holder 66 is mounted on imaging system 67 . Biopsy sampler guide 6 is movable in all directions relative to biopsy holder 66 . Indeed, the biopsy guide 6 can perform a translation in the X, Y and Z directions with respect to the biopsy holder 66 . In addition or instead of said translation there may be a rotation.

[0073] The imaging system comprises a detector 2 which provides a se...

Abstract

This invention relates to a biopsy method comprising automated moving of at least part of a biopsy sampler (6) within a biopsy volume (1), to perform a biopsy in a zone of interest (50) in a body, wherein said automated moving is preceded by variable positioning of said biopsy volume (1).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a biopsy method and a related biopsy device for performing a biopsy in a human body, preferably in a breast of a human body. Background technique [0002] The technical problems and associated solutions of biopsy methods will be described in relation to breast biopsy in order to be more specific and clearer. However, the technical problems and solutions of these biopsy methods can be applied to other organs of the human body. They would be more interesting than contemplated organs that could vary widely in size and would result in many different patient positions depending on the part of the organ to be accessed by the biopsy device . [0003] According to a first prior art, it is known to provide paddles with different biopsy compartments for two-dimensional (2D) positioning associated with a biopsy sampler which is manually and directly moved within the biopsy compartment by an operator. This completely manual biop...
