ABSTRACT:
A medical method and apparatus for the localization and biospy of lesions in a patient body part. A radiopharmaceutical is administered to the patient followed by placement of the body part within a scanner for obtaining emission data. The emission data is converted into Cartesian coordinates which are used to guide a sampling instrument for the biopsy of said lesion.
