Fig. 1 —Adjustable coaxial 18-gauge automated core needle biopsy system. System consists of 17-gauge outer cannula with introducer stylet that is used for positioning outer cannula. 18-gauge (1.2-mm) central cutting biopsy needle is passed through cannula for biopsy sample. Sample notch size can be selected from minimum of 9 mm to maximum of 24 mm—and thus adapted to size of small lesions—by turning a coaxial bolt.
