BIOPSIBUE

摘要

A biopsy bow 1 is designed to be used for supporting a means of examination in the form of needles in connection with tomographic examinations. The bow is pliably fixed to a patient's table 4 or a corresponding base part and is angularly adjusted so that it is placed correctly in relation to the direction of the plane of the relevant cross-sectional image. The biopsy bow is provided with a number of holes 5, which are aligned inwardly towards the area enclosed by the bow. The said holes are designed to guide the respective means of examination. The bow is made of a material, which has an X-ray radiation attenuation equal to or less than the value exhibited by organic tissue. Both the bow and organs in the patient's body can thereby be made to appear and show up together on the cross-sectional image (figure 5 and 6), so that a suitable hole and a suitable direction can be selected for the relevant examination without the risk of interfering artefacts.
