Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0065989A1] The present invention provides systems and methods for guiding a surgical instrument (212) into a preselected spatial relationship with a lesion (234), in particular a lesion of the breast. In an exemplary embodiment, the system includes a data translation system that translates a set of data points representing the position of the lesion into a set of three-dimensional coordinates. It also includes a tracking system that tracks the position of a surgical instrument in three-dimensional space, and further includes a representation system that produces a representation (242, 244) of the position of the surgical instrument relative to the lesion. The systems of the present invention are correlated with methods for biopsy of a lesion and for surgically removing a lesion.
