Our passion to offer innovative interventional tools that advance breast health fueled the development of the Affirm breast biopsy guidance system.

This simple add-on to any Hologic 3D Mammography™-capable system enables you to quickly perform 2D or 3D™ breast biopsies using the same imaging equipment as for mammography exams. Plus, with the lateral arm upright biopsy accessory, you have even more flexibility to access challenging lesion locations.

Superior Imaging*

Pinpoint subtle lesions and faint calcifications – including those that may only be visible with tomosynthesis, with the 3D™ biopsy option.

Key advantages:

Allows you to easily target lesions, including those visible only in tomosynthesis images.
Streamlines procedure steps and speeds targeting, resulting in improved workflow and shorter patient procedure time.
Reduces patient dose, as fewer exposures are required.

Streamlined Workflow

Efficient, fast, easy to learn and use. The system provides a simplified user interface to help deliver a fast biopsy with fewer steps and a lower patient dose.

Versatile Solutions

Transition from screening to interventional procedures to biopsy a wide spectrum of patients either seated or decubitus. Quickly and easily switch between standard and lateral needle approaches.

Features

Technological innovation. Improved patient care. Advanced breast health solutions. That’s what the Affirm system delivers. To further support breast health intervention

Direct-Capture Detector

You can proceed with confidence to biopsy lesions knowing that the high-resolution direct-capture imaging detector is the same in both your diagnostic and biopsy procedures.
