A biopsy device and method are provided for obtaining tissue samples. The biopsy device can include a probe assembly having a cannula and a cutter assembly. The cutter assembly includes a hollow cutter, and the hollow cutter can be removed from the probe assembly without disassembling the probe assembly. The method can include the steps of positioning the tissue receiving port in the tissue to be sampled; removing the cutter from the biopsy device; imaging the biopsy site associated with the tissue receiving port of the biopsy device after removing the cutter from the biopsy device; inserting the cutter into the biopsy device; and severing tissue received in the tissue receiving port with the cutter.
