Abstract: The housing for a breast imaging system contains an x-ray source and is configured to rotate relative to the breast. The housing for an x-ray receptor has a breast support platform and extends from an arm assembly which rotates independently from the x-ray source housing. A compression arm assembly connected to the arm assembly moves between a first linear position proximate the x-ray receptor housing and a second linear position distal the x-ray receptor housing. A pair of extension arms are pivotably connected to a strut which removably secures a compression paddle to the compression arm assembly substrate. The extension arms move between a first pivoted position substantially aligned with the strut and a second pivoted position disposed at an angle to the strut.

Abstract: A method of compressing a breast of a patient with a breast imaging system includes obtaining an x-ray area of the breast of the patient. The x-ray area of the breast is compared to a data set, and a target force is based at least in part on the comparison is identified. A compressive force is applied to the breast, and is based at least in part on the target force. The breast is imaged with the breast imaging system.

Abstract: A method of imaging a breast of a patient using an imaging system includes applying, with a first component of the imaging system, a compressive force to the breast. A second component of the imaging system is positioned in a start position. The imaging system sends a first guidance signal to the patient. An imaging procedure of the breast is performed with the second component of the imaging system. Subsequent to performing the imaging procedure, a second guidance signal is sent to the patient.

Abstract: Systems and methods for projecting a visual indicator onto a breast are disclosed. To better estimate an incision location or a location to apply an anesthetic, a visual indicator may be shown on the breast to indicate an intersection point of an interventional element and a surface of the breast. The visual indicator may be projected from a light source. The source may be positioned on a guidance system for an element near the element itself. The visual indicator may be moved based on a distance between the light and the surface of the breast (e.g., to counteract a parallax effect).

Abstract: For a biopsy guided by contrast-enhanced x-ray imaging, a breast imaging system may image a patient's breast subsequent to injection of contrast agent to locate a site for biopsy and/or position a biopsy device relative to the site. Once a tissue specimen is removed from the site for diagnostic evaluation, a confirmation that the specimen was removed from an intended area of interest for biopsy is performed using the systems and methods described herein. For example, the breast imaging system and/or a separate specimen imaging system may capture high and low energy images of the specimen, subtract the low energy image from the high energy image to generate a subtracted image of the specimen, and determine, based on the subtracted image, that the contrast agent is present within the specimen to confirm the site from which the specimen was removed is the intended site for biopsy.
