<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To preliminarily measure a spatial range within which a biopsy needle is capable of sampling tissue of a biopsy region. <P>SOLUTION: A biopsy apparatus (10) includes the biopsy needle (62) for insertion into an object (22) to be examined in order to sample the tissue of the biopsy region in the object (22), and a spatial range measuring section (94), which measures the spatial range within which the biopsy needle (62) is capable of sampling the tissue of the biopsy region, based on an image of a phantom that simulates the object (22), which is captured after the biopsy needle (62) has been inserted into the phantom and a portion of the phantom has been extracted. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
