title: Attachment device for side-biting cannula in stereotactic biopsy--technical note.
abstract: An attachment device to fix a Sedan side-biting biopsy cannula to a stereotactic frame is described. The disadvantages of the biopsy cup forceps are resolved, and a relatively large amount of multiple specimens can be obtained along a single biopsy trajectory. This attachment device enables the side-biting cannula to follow a straight trajectory biopsy in various stereotactic frames.
