Biopsy Methods

NORAS offers two different biopsy methods that both have individual advantages. Both methods can be used together with all NORAS BI 320 breast biopsy coils and patient rests for immobilization, wire placements and MR guided biopsy. Our systems all provide height adjustable biopsy units with wide access to the breast from lateral, medial and cranio-caudal side and can be rotated by 360° in 15° increments. (Please note that this rotation radius does not apply if the Siemens syngo® software is in use).

The Post and Pillar Method

With our Post&Pillar Biopsy System you can perform exact biopsies with a higher accuracy compared to the grid method. Angulation is possible by adjusting the needle sleeve by 15° or 30° towards posterior or anterior. Biopsies can be performed using either reusable (autoclavable) or disposable* (sterile) Post&Pillar needle guide sleeves. Height-adjustable horizontal slat plates can be used to fixate the breast.

The Grid Method

The Grid Biopsy System allows multiple biopsy access points within a single procedure.
Thus, several biopsies or wire placements can be performed at various lesions in one step. Grid needle blocks can be freely positioned in the grid to ensure needle guidance. The grids and cubes are available as reusable (autoclavable) or disposable* (sterile) accessories. Height-adjustable horizontal slat plates as well as disposable or reusable grids can be used to fixate the breast.
