The Stereotactic Needle Biopsy Phantom provides a leak-free, compressible test medium for performing the localization accuracy test in the American College of Radiology’s stereotactic breast biopsy accreditation program1. The phantom should be used whenever a new system is installed or repaired, to ensure accurate needle placement. It may also be used as a practice medium for both stereotactic and standalone biopsies.
