摘要：
A localization mechanism, or fixture, is used in conjunction with a breastcoil for breastcompression and for guiding a core biopsy instrument during prone biopsyprocedures in bothopen and closed Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines. The localizationfixtureincludes a three-dimensional Cartesian positionable guide for supporting andorienting anMRI-compatible biopsy instrument, and in particular a sleeve, to a biopsy siteof suspicioustissues or lesions. A depth stop enhances accurate insertion, prevents over-insertion orinadvertent retraction of the sleeve. The sleeve receives a probe of the MRI-compatiblebiopsy instrument and may contain various features to enhance its imagability,to enhancevacuum and pressure assist therethrough, etc.
