SYNERGIC USE OF X-RAY STEREOTAXIS AND SCINTIGRAPHIC IMAGE TO REDUCE THE POSITIONING UNCERTAINTY OF THE BIOPSY NEEDLE
Remo Sala, Alessandro Soluri, Emanuele Zappa
Abstract:
The present paper describes the advantages of the combined use of morphologic and functional diagnostic images for improving the accuracy in pathology localization. The main goal of the position uncertainty reduction is to carefully select the area of interest for the biopsy.
The paper describes the new diagnostic technique based on the synergic use of morphologic and functional diagnostic images and shows examples images obtained during breast stereotactic biopsy on some patients.
