ABSTRACT:
A stereotactic auxiliary attachment for a tomography apparatus for conducting a tomogram-guided biopsy of a female breast has two compression plates arranged to be movable toward one another for fixing the breast therebetween, with through-holes arranged in the compression plates enabling a guided access of a biopsy needle to the breast through the compression plates. The through-holes in at least one of the compression plates are arranged obliquely relative to a surface normal of a compressing surface of that compression plate thereby permitting access to all regions of the breast tissue.
