Brief summary

The Brevera Breast Biopsy System integrates tissue acquisition, real time imaging, and post biopsy handling all during the same procedure. This post-market clinical trial will be performed to obtain clinical/operational data and feedback on the Brevera Breast Biopsy System.

Interventions

DEVICEBrevera Breast Biopsy System

The Brevera Breast Biopsy System with CorLumina imaging technology is a vacuum-assisted biopsy device, which is used to remove breast tissue in a minimally invasive manner using stereotactic or tomosynthesis imaging. A breast biopsy is a test that removes tissue or sometimes fluid from the suspicious area. The removed cells are examined under a microscope and further tested to check for the presence of breast cancer. A biopsy is a diagnostic procedure that can definitely determine if the suspicious area is cancerous.

Inclusion criteria

* Female aged 18 years of age or older * Subject has at least one breast imaging finding requiring biopsy for which images are available * Subject is able to understand, read and sign the trial specific informed consent form after the nature of the trial has been fully explained to her

Exclusion criteria
