LORAD, the foremost innovator in technology for breast health, now leadsthe way in Stereotactic biopsy. The LORAD StereoGuide is the efficient, precise andminimally invasive system that quickly performs extremely accurate needle core biopsies, needle localizations and fine-needle aspirations (FNA) while minimizing patient discomfort.


THE REASSURING ALTERNATIVE
TO HOSPITALIZATION

To date over 10,000 cases have proven the accuracy of the large-core
biopsy procedure.Studies have shown the procedure to have 99% sensitivity and 100% specificity-equivalent to surgical biopsy. With the LORAD patented needle guidance system, the StereoGuide can localize lesions with an accuracy of plus-minus l.Omm.

COST-EFFICIENT-FOR THE PHYSICIAN AND THE PATIENT

The StereoGuide procedure is ideally suited for the hospital, the office or outpatientsetting, avoiding operating room expenses. StereoGuide large-core biopsies are performed quickly using local anesthesia, without subjecting the patient to the trauma of more invasive, costly and possibly disfiguring surgical biopsy. With the Stereotactic procedure
patients avoid the scar tissue formation from surgical biopsy that can mask lesions in future mammograms. Importantly, patient or insurance provider expense is just one-third to one-half that of traditional procedures.
