In breast biopsy, superior image quality and superior access are paramount to making it fast and easy to identify and confidently target lesions. That’s why the scientists at Hologic created the world’s first dedicated prone stereotactic biopsy system capable of both 2D and tomosynthesis-guided procedures. This new-generation solution elevates prone biopsy performance to a level never before possible.

The Affirm prone biopsy system delivers:

• Stereotactic biopsy with Superior1 2D or 3D™ imaging using the same proven detector technology found in our Selenia Dimensions mammography system
• A streamlined workflow designed to deliver faster procedures
• Easy, total access to the breast with full 360-degree access and an exclusive fully integrated lateral needle approach to facilitate reaching challenging lesions
• Enhanced patient comfort through ergonomic design and an array of patient positioning aids

Hologic’s 3D™ Breast Biopsy option helps visualize lesions that are only seen under tomosynthesis while also reducing the number of steps needed for a procedure and lowering the radiation dose compared to a traditional 2D biopsy.
