AMULET Innovality - Mammographie Tomosynthese Biopsie

Summary

This video demonstrates the simple process of performing a biopsy with the assistance of tomosynthesis technology. It covers the installation of the biopsy unit and monitor, followed by setting up the needle guide for a test biopsy. Using the control monitor, the operator identifies and marks the pathological lesion, receives coordinates for the biopsy unit, and transfers the data to the controller. The biopsy needle is then directed to the target area, where a wire marker or clip is placed. The video highlights how easy it is to perform a biopsy with tomosynthesis support.

Takeaways

• 😀 The installation of a biopsy unit is straightforward and similar to the assembly of a paddle.
• 😀 After installation, the control monitor is set up and connected to the biopsy unit.
• 😀 The next step involves setting up the needle guidance for a test biopsy on the specimen.
• 😀 The pathologic lesion is located on the control monitor using tomosynthesis.
• 😀 The lesion is marked on the monitor with a cursor to obtain coordinates for the biopsy unit.
• 😀 These coordinates are automatically transferred to the biopsy controller via AWS.
• 😀 Pressing the target button moves the biopsy unit to the target area.
• 😀 A biopsy needle is then inserted into the target area to collect tissue samples.
• 😀 A wire marker or clip is placed during the biopsy procedure for identification.
• 😀 The procedure demonstrates how easy it is to perform a biopsy using tomosynthesis guidance.

Q & A

What is the first step in setting up the biopsy unit?

The first step is adjusting the biopsy unit, which is similar to setting up a paddle.

How is the control monitor integrated into the biopsy process?

The control monitor is installed and connected to the biopsy unit, then turned on for operation.

What is the purpose of the needle guide in the biopsy procedure?

The needle guide is inserted to conduct a test biopsy on the specimen.

How does the tomosynthesis system assist in identifying the pathological lesion?

The pathological lesion is located on the control monitor using the tomosynthesis image, and the lesion is marked with the cursor.

What happens after the lesion is marked on the control monitor?

Once marked, the coordinates for the biopsy unit are automatically generated and transmitted from the AWS to the biopsy controller.

How does the biopsy unit reach the target area?

The biopsy unit is guided to the target area by pressing the 'target' button, which moves the unit to the correct position.

What is done once the biopsy unit is in position?

A biopsy needle is inserted into the target area to collect the sample, and a wire marking or clip is placed.

What is the role of the wire marking or clip?

The wire marking or clip is placed in the target area as part of the biopsy process to mark the location for future reference.

How does the tomosynthesis-guided biopsy improve the procedure?

Tomosynthesis provides detailed imaging that helps in precisely targeting the pathological lesion, making the biopsy process more accurate.

What was the goal of the demonstration in the video?

The goal was to show how simple it is to perform a biopsy using tomosynthesis guidance.
