A breast biopsy using the Mammotome® System can help a
doctor make a highly accurate diagnosis without the need for open breast surgery.
Through the use of computer imaging, a breast abnormality or breast lump can be
clearly identified, even in its earliest stages. Digital imaging enables a physician
to use the computer-guided Mammotome® probe to gently collect
tissue samples through one small 1/4 inch incision.
With the Mammotome® System, a breast biopsy can be performed
in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia. A doctor can make a precise analysis
with minimal pain, scarring and recovery time. The biopsy procedure takes less
than an hour, and patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately.
