    Abstract: A biopsy system performs a biopsy of a breast while capturing an ultrasound image with an ultrasonography apparatus, and includes: a compression member that has an opening portion into which a biopsy needle and an ultrasound probe used for capturing the ultrasound image are inserted and that compresses the breast; at least one processor that performs guide processing for guiding a target insertion position and a target insertion angle of the biopsy needle inserted into the breast and a target scanning position of the ultrasound probe; and an acoustic matching body that is provided between the ultrasound probe and the breast in a non-contact state with the biopsy needle.

    Abstract: A control apparatus including: at least one processor, wherein the processor is configured to: acquire, in an order of time, for an ultrasound unit that captures an ultrasound image of a breast put into a compressed state by a compression member, is disposed on an upper surface side of the compression member opposite to a contact surface with the breast, and has an in-plane position in a plane direction of an upper surface and a height from the upper surface, which are changeable, height information indicating the height from the upper surface; determine whether or not the height indicated by the height information satisfies a predetermined condition; and specify, in a case in which an affirmative determination is made, a first position that is the in-plane position of the ultrasound unit in a predetermined period including a point in time at which the predetermined condition is satisfied.

    Abstract: A compression plate includes a body part having a box shape with an open top, and a guide member that guides an ultrasound probe along a scanning direction of the ultrasound probe. The guide member includes a first guide part that guides the ultrasound probe along a first scanning path, and a second guide part that guides the ultrasound probe along a second scanning path. The first guide part and the second guide part are disposed such that effective image regions of the ultrasound probe partially overlap each other in a case in which scanning using the ultrasound probe is performed along the first scanning path and the second scanning path.

    Abstract: An imaging apparatus including an imaging table having an imaging surface; a compression member for putting a breast disposed on the imaging surface into a compressed state; an ultrasound unit that captures an ultrasound image of the breast put into the compressed state by the compression member, from an upper surface side of the compression member opposite to a contact surface with the breast; a first drive mechanism that moves the ultrasound unit between at least two states of an approach state in which the ultrasound unit approaches an upper surface, and a separation state in which the ultrasound unit is separated from the upper surface as compared to the approach state; and a second drive mechanism that moves the ultrasound unit put into the separation state by the first drive mechanism, in a plane direction of the upper surface.
