Affirm Prone Biopsy Table

In breast biopsy, superior image quality and superior access are paramount to making it fast and easy to identify and confidently target lesions. That’s why the scientists at Hologic created the world’s first dedicated prone stereotactic biopsy system capable of both 2D and tomosynthesis-guided procedures. This new-generation solution elevates prone biopsy performance to a level never before possible.

The Affirm prone biopsy system delivers:

Stereotactic biopsy with Superior1 2D or 3D™ imaging using the same proven detector technology found in our Selenia Dimensions mammography system.

A streamlined workflow designed to deliver faster procedures.

Easy, total access to the breast with full 360-degree access and an exclusive fully integrated lateral needle approach to facilitate reaching challenging lesions.

Enhanced patient comfort through ergonomic design and an array of patient positioning aids.

Hologic’s 3D™ Breast Biopsy option helps visualize lesions that are only seen under tomosynthesis while also reducing the number of steps needed for a procedure and lowering the radiation dose compared to a traditional 2D biopsy.

Superior imaging capability and a wider field of view.

With high quality 2D or tomosynthesis (3D™) imaging and a field of view that’s more than 6.5 times larger than older generations of prone biopsy systems,¹ clinicians can visualize more tissue and pinpoint subtle lesions and faint calcifications that may not be visible on older systems. It also allows for easy software upgrade from 2D to 3D imaging at any time.

Increased automation for fast, easy procedures.

Featuring an automated tube-head motion, pre-programmed needle parameters and one-click targeting, the Affirm prone biopsy system is streamlined for efficiency. Its intuitive software and increased automation foster a faster, more efficient workflow, and fewer procedural steps help reduce the chance of manual errors.¹

Quickly reach challenging lesion locations.

A fully integrated C-arm and bidirectional patient positioning provide a new level of 360° access to the breast, improving access to some of the most challenging lesions.¹ The system features an independently rotating biopsy arm and exclusive lateral needle approach that allows clinicians to switch from a standard to lateral approach in seconds—without additional attachments and without the need to reposition the patient or acquire additional images.

Give patients a compassionate experience.

More than 95% of patients reported their Affirm prone biopsy procedure was faster, more comfortable and
less painful than expected.3 The system is designed with patients’ physical and emotional comfort in
mind. Direct view of the biopsy needle is eliminated, helping reduce patient stress, and clinicians can
quickly identify, target and access lesions to help reduce time spent in compression.
