Abstract: A biopsy system includes a motorized driver having a drive member operatively coupled with a needle interface of a biopsy needle assembly that is removably installed on the motorized driver, wherein the motorized driver actuates the drive member to thereby actuate the biopsy needle assembly via the needle interface. A system controller that controls operation of the motorized driver is configured to perform a homing process including determining a system test failure or a needle removal condition in which a biopsy needle assembly installed on the motorized driver has been or should be removed from the motorized driver. Upon determining a system test failure or needle removal condition, the controller positions the drive member in a drive member home position for receiving a new biopsy needle assembly to be installed on the motorized driver.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for capturing, displaying, annotating, cataloging and storing still and video images using a programmed digital computer. The computer has an input port for receiving digital images, a display screen, a keyboard, a cursor pointing device and a digital storage medium. The computer is programmed to carry out the following tasks: (a) Capture selected images and video clips in response to a capture input to the computer by the user. The computer displays such captured images on the display screen and allows the user to insert text and drawing annotations on the images. (b) Export user-selected ones of the stored images into a word processing document template for creating a report. (c) Store selected ones of the captured images and word processed reports in association with an identity name input to the computer by the user. (d) Create a directory of stored images in accordance with the identity name.
