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: A specimen radiography system may include a controller and a cabinet. The cabinet may include an x-ray source, an x-ray detector, and a specimen drawer disposed between the x-ray source and the x-ray detector. The specimen drawer may be automatically positionable along a vertical axis between the x-ray source and the x-ray detector.

Abstract: X-ray images generated by a biopsy tissue handling apparatus are selectively modified to emphasize areas of interest and deemphasize or eliminate image areas that are distracting, impair view attention and/or contribute to eye fatigue, An image processor executes image masks based on a geometric configuration of a portion of a specimen tray including a storage compartment with tissue specimen, A compartment mask executes on a portion of X-ray image depicting storage compartment including tissue specimen. Compartment mask boundary substantially corresponds to a contour of compartment. Partial structure mask executes on a portion of X-ray image depicting respective walls of specimen tray and storage compartment. Partial structure mask boundary extends along respective lengths and partially through respective walls of specimen tray.
