KBCT Guided BIOPSY
When a patient has a finding that prompts further investigation via biopsy services, the KBCT can deliver unparalleled results. The Koning Vera Breast CT offers 3D guided biopsy measurements guided by X-ray. Our system offers a revolutionary diagnostic technique for breast imaging and CT-guided interventions, and can significantly improve the detection of breast masses and microcalcifications thanks to its high resolution and potential use for reconstruction. The average biopsy with out device can be completed in just 15 to 20 minutes. The two most important factors are targeting accuracy by utilizing isotropic 3D targeting, and reducing the number of images that equate to a higher radiation exposure level.
