Abstract: An x-ray breast imaging system includes a breast support platform including an x-ray receptor, and an x-ray tube head. The x-ray tube head includes an x-ray source configured to emit an x-ray beam in a direction towards the x-ray receptor, and a collimator. A filter assembly including a plurality of filter slots selectively positionable adjacent to the collimator, and a specimen imaging filter disposed within a slot of the plurality of filter slots. The specimen imaging filter includes at least one aperture defined therein. The specimen imaging filter also blocks a portion of the emitted x-ray beam so that the at least one aperture defines a path of the emitted x-ray beam towards the x-ray receptor.

Abstract: A cover for a tissue holder assembly is described. The cover includes a first end and an opposite second end defining a longitudinal axis, the second end configured to removably couple to a base of the tissue holder assembly. The cover also includes an exterior surface and an opposite interior surface, the interior surface at least partially defining an interior chamber with the base. The cover also includes an entry port defining a fluid pathway from the exterior surface to the interior surface. The entry port includes an inlet defined in the exterior surface and having an inlet axis, the inlet shaped and sized to at least partially receive an inlet tube, the inlet axis extending radially relative to the longitudinal axis and non-orthogonal thereto, an outlet defined in the interior surface, and a transition channel extending between the inlet and the outlet.
