System and Method for Performing an Image-Guided Biopsy

摘要

A system and method for performing an image-guided biopsy of a target mass of a volume of tissue comprising: a transducer array comprising a set of ultrasound emitters and a set of ultrasound receivers configured to generate a set of acoustic data based upon acoustic waveforms received from the volume of tissue, wherein the transducer array is configured to enable determination of a location of the target mass based on the set of acoustic data; a base proximate to the transducer array; a fixation plate coupled to the base and cooperating with the base and the transducer array to at least partially define an adjustable receiving space configured to receive the volume of tissue; and a guiding module coupled to the base and comprising an aperture configured to align a biopsy tool with the location of the target mass.
