ABSTRACT:
A conforming biopsy grid and control apparatus consists of a flat transparent adhesive pliable sheet of material with imprinted radiopaque and visible grid lines which are numbered and lettered in more than one axis and applied to a structure. An adjustable perforated box-like apparatus is applied to stabilize compliant and/or elastic structures and placed about the grid applied structure fixing compliant and/or plastic structures tightly to conform to the shape of the box-like apparatus. A calibrated, perforated stylet is placed through the composite, i.e., compliant and/or elastic structure, conforming biopsy grid, and containing box-like apparatus, and stabilized by locking devices as it enters and exits the containing box-like apparatus. Electromagnetic and/or visible means are used to determine placement of this stylet through the perforated box-like apparatus to localize internal structures in more than one plane indicating location and depth of structures to be biopsied.
