Abstract
A biopsy system includes a biopsy probe configured to sever tissue to acquire a tissue sample. The biopsy probe has biopsy needle portion having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen. A vacuum source is coupled to the lumen. The vacuum source is configured to generate a vacuum to transport the tissue sample through the lumen and expel the tissue sample from the lumen at the proximal end of the biopsy needle portion. An arrangement of compression plates is configured to receive the tissue sample from the proximal end of the biopsy probe and is operable to compress the tissue sample. The arrangement of compression plates has a plurality of impedance measurement electrodes. An impedance measurement circuit is connected to the plurality of impedance measurement electrodes.
