INTERVENTIONAL MRI

BBC COILSBiopsy Breast Array CoilThe Model BBC Biopsy Breast Array Coil is Invivo’s “next generation” breast imaging coil, designedto take advantage of the many advanced capabilities of new 8-channel MRI systems.The BBC provides exceptional unilateral and bilateral breast images, with extensive coverage of theaxilla and chest wall. This advanced array coil is optimized for use with new parallel imagingtechniques for reduced patient exam times. The innovative coil design includes an integratedimmobilization and biopsy system and provides large, open access for performing both lateral andmedial interventional procedures. The aperture volume of the coil is more than 50% greaterthan other dedicated breast coils, which can comfortably accommodate larger patients.Included with the coil are an adjustable patient headrest accessory, patient comfort pad,breast biopsy phantom and a comprehensive set of interventional instruments and disposableaccessories (See next page for details).Pillar SystemLesion localization methodtargets precise coordinatesof lesion relative to an MRvisible fiducial marker.Plates, Hub, Needle Sleeveand Needle are steriledisposable.Grid SystemVisually oriented approachfor wire localization referencinglesion to a corresponding gridopening. Grid, Needle Block,and Needle are steriledisposable.BBC Medial AccessFor medial access and intervention, an alternate breastblocker plate is provided to gently lift the alternatebreast from the aperture providing medial access to the breast.Both Grid and Pillar systems of localization may be usedfor medial procedures. A cleanable fluid tray is also provided,and fits securely in either side of the coil base.14
