摘要:
A fluid collection apparatus (60) is provided for controlling fluid communication between a vacuum source and first (30) and second (32) vacuum lines of a surgical device (5) such as a core sampling biopsy device. The fluid collection apparatus (60) comprises first and second fluid lines (79,80) adapted for detachably connecting to, and in fluid communication with, the first and second vacuum lines (30,32), respectively, of the surgical device (5). The fluid collection apparatus (60) further comprises first and second valves (87,89) in fluid communication with first and second fluid lines (79,80), respectively. Each of first and second valves (87,89) has an open position and a closed position. The fluid collection apparatus (60) further comprises an air vent (148) selectively communicating with first and second vacuum lines (30,32), and a valve frame (90) for fixing first and second valves (87,89) relative to each other, where the valve frame (90) has a latching means (138,156) for detachably connecting the valve frame (90) to the surgical device (5).

摘要:
A localization mechanism, or fixture (16) is used in conjunction with a breast coil (34) for breast compression and for guiding a core biopsy instrument (14) during prone stereotactic biopsy procedures in both open and closed Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines (12). The localization fixture (16) includes a fiducial marker (140) and three-dimensional Cartesian positionable guide for supporting and orienting an MRI-compatible biopsy instrument (14) with detachable probe/thumb wheel probe to the biopsy site of suspicious tissues or lesions.
摘要:
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) compatible core biopsy instrument includes a detachable probe assembly (38) to enhance the accuracy of placement at a biopsy site and avoid repeated insertions, even when used in a closed MRI magnet bore. In particular, the detachable probe assembly (38) is configured for attachment to a localization fixture (16) for accurate stereotopic placement to the desired biopsy site. While disengaged, dual lumens (vacuum and cutter) of the probe assembly allow applying vacuum to, draining fluid from, and insertion of fluids to the biopsy site. The biopsy instrument handle (36) readily engages to the probe assembly for taking samples. Features are included for visual indications of the position of the cutter, prevention of disengagement when the cutter is advanced into the probe assembly, and a tolerance take-out feature that minimizes the deadzone gap at a distal end of the probe assembly, allowing samples to be taken close to sensitive tissues.
