?:definition
  • Systems designed for the automatic extraction of core tissue samples (typically in the form of a cylinder) from soft tissue using a vacuum to draw tissue into the cutting chamber of a core biopsy needle. These systems are designed to allow larger volumes of tissue to be collected compared to conventional core needle biopsy devices. These systems typically consist of a freestanding, line-powered control console connected to a driver unit by vacuum tubing and control cables. However, some systems consist of a battery-powered driver unit that includes the controls and vacuum pump. The procedure is typically performed under imaging guidance (e.g., ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, stereotactic x-ray). Driver units may be handheld or mounted on the arm of a stereotactic system.
