Abstract
A biopsy device includes an elongated handle body having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, a needle disposed within the handle body, first and second transducers, and a display. The needle is configured to move between a retracted position and a deployed position. The first and second ultrasound transducers are disposed within the distal end portion of the handle body. The first and second ultrasound transducers are angled relative to one another and define a space therebetween configured for passage of the needle.
