METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR BIOPSY Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61B10/02 A61B6/03 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to medicine. A biopsy system comprises: a visual display system for diagnostic imaging, a probe comprising a slip biopsy needle, a computer connected to a tracking system, the visual display system and an ultrasonic visual display system. A machine-readable medium comprises a computer executable code for implementing the stages of a method of using the tracking system for biopsy. The method for imaging involves the stages providing the diagnostic imaging of a target region covering a biopsy point. The tracking system matches with the diagnostic images. Ultrasonic images of the target region are formed during a biopsy procedure. The tracking system is used to obtain tracking data to localise at least one of: the probe, the biopsy needle and a needle guide during the biopsy procedure. The localisation is marked in the biopsy point on the ultrasonic images. The marked localisation is transferred from the ultrasound images onto the diagnostic images by reference to the tracking data and matching the tracking system with diagnostic images.

EFFECT: group of inventions enables providing more accurate mapping of the biopsy points.
