A local leader in the crucial area of breast biopsy, RAO has upgraded our suite of services to include the Brevera® breast biopsy system with CorLumina® imaging technology and Affirm® prone access. The Brevera system creates a revolution in fast, accurate tissue acquisition, live imaging of lesions, and immediate verification of tissue samples with less time under compression for a better patient experience.
Superior Accuracy
The Brevera system utilizes the Affirm prone biopsy method, a breakthrough in speed and comfort. Affirm allows you to lie face-down on a customizable, multi-positional, memory-foam-cushioned platform that provides 360° access to breast tissue and lesions. The rotating biopsy arm and lateral needle entry lets your radiologist choose the most effective approach without moving you or requiring additional images. This flexibility gives your radiologist a wider vantage area and more immediate reach directly to targeted sites, enhancing accuracy and speed of collection.
Affirm’s field of view is more than 6½ times larger than older prone biopsy systems and provides both 2D and 3D imaging options and built-in image enhancement features to improve the visibility of tiny lesions and faint calcifications. It is a major advance in biopsy accuracy.
Less Invasive
The Brevera stereotactic biopsy system allows precision lesion sampling with a smaller incision for less invasion and discomfort, easier healing, and the best possible cosmetic result.
More Comfortable
The Brevera System’s speed means less time in compression. More than 95% of patients report that its integrated pain management helps to eliminate discomfort throughout. Patients also report the experience being faster than they expected. The prone position allows patients to avoid seeing the biopsy needle, reducing anxiety.
More Efficient
The Brevera breast biopsy system promotes more accurate sample collection in less time. Its ability to combine tissue acquisition, imaging, verification and sample prep into a single process has the potential to reduce biopsy time by an average of 13 minutes and to limit the chance of manual error. The system’s wireless connectivity enables instant transfer of data to your referring clinician.
The Brevera breast biopsy system with CorLumina and Affirm is among the most sophisticated, accurate, rapid and comfortable biopsy suites in existence. It is part of RAO’s dedication to your health, well-being and confidence in our care.
RAO offers the Brevera breast biopsy system as our Women’s Imaging Center. For more information, call us at 352-671-4300.
