Semi-automatic Download of Prostate Biopsy Cores While Keeping the Orientation, Unfolding and Unity of the Sample

The NaviGoBx™ system is a device and method that enables an accurate reporting of the exact longitudinal location and direction of the biopsy specimen along the needle notch as well as the accurate length of the specimen. Acquiring this information during the biopsy extraction session provides an accurate designation of the location of any later region of interest within the specimen itself to the longitudinal position along the needle mandrel.

the biopsy core is downloaded onto a biopsy sponge pad which is than entered into a biopsy cassette.
