ABSTRACT:
Localizer embodiments (40, 140, 180, 240, 280) suitable for guidance of medical instrument tips (104) to a breast lesion (79) are provided. In one embodiment (40), the breast is closely fitted within a selected one of a plurality of sized MR transparent cups (44) to reduce movement during imaging and localization. A guide bore (60A) is selected from an array of bores and a medical instrument is guided therethrough in accordance with imaged spacings obtained with the aid of an MR visible coordinate system (46). A medical instrument (300) suitable for use with the localizers is also provided.
