We are particularly impressed by … the new biopsy capabilities. The needle navigator simplifies biopsy planning, allowing me to see exactly how deep the needle is within the tissue.

We didn’t like leaving the patient in the room on her own with the needle still in the breast. Now that we have InSpect, we’re able to stay in the room and reassure the patient at all times.

Frequently Asked Questions

Breast biopsy workflows can be improved through automation, guided procedures, integrated specimen verification, and imaging technologies that support accurate lesion targeting while reducing workflow steps. 

Tomosynthesis-guided biopsy can provide enhanced depth information and more precise lesion localization, helping clinicians target suspicious findings with confidence.

CEM-guided biopsy may be beneficial when lesions are difficult to visualize with standard mammography and functional imaging information can support localization and intervention.
