A biopsy assembly for collecting tissue samples by means of a biopsy needle when introduced in a body cavity. The biopsy assembly comprises an elongated member (), with a longitudinal axis (), configured with: a first needle guide (), arranged to guide a needle in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis (), and a second needle guide () arranged to guide a needle in a direction along the elongated member ().

Endocavitary ultrasound probe with biopsy system having two needle guides

An ultrasound probe for cavity scanning of a body, comprising: an elongated rod-like member (), with a longitudinal axis (), configured to accommodate at its one end a first transducer (). The first transducer () has a field of view () established by acquiring an image along radial scan lines in a first image plane that coincides with the longitudinal axis (). The field of view covers more than 15 degrees of scan lines at each side of its intersection with the longitudinal axis and more than 15 degrees of scan lines at each side of its intersection with a transverse axis () that lies in the first image plane and is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The probe may comprise a first and second needle guide () arranged to guide an instrument along a path () which intersects with the first field of view (), respectively.
