CHAPTER 2 - OPERATING MODES SECTION 1 THEORY OF OPERATION STEREOTIX 2 computes the coordinates of a suspect x-ray image from two stereotactic views of the same point taken at angles of +15 _ and -15_ on the same film. The SID value is known. According to the length of the needle selected, the STEREOTIX also computes the difference between the X, Y and Z coordinates of the suspect exposure on the stereoscopic exposures and the X, Y and Z coordinates of the needle-holder beforeit is positioned. The deviation found between the respective coordinates of the image and the needle-holder along with the variations of this deviation are displayed on the Deviation Readout Unit. Note:
To vary the deviation between the X, Y and Z coordinates of the image and of the needle-holder, adjust the needle-holder positioning knobs and change the needle length selection. Having selected the needle length (with or without adjustment), the operator moves the needle-holder via the knobs along the three axes to reduce the value displayed on the Deviation Readout Unit to zero. The needle-holder is now positioned over the lesion to be punctured in the breast. Place the needle-guide in the needle-holder and insert the puncture product.

THE USER MUST ACCURATELY SELECT THE SAME POINT SEEN ON THE TWO EXPOSURES. THE XA, XB, AND YAB DEVIATIONS MAY LEAD TO DEVIATIONS OF ONE THRU SEVERAL MILLIMETERS WHEN THE NEEDLE IS BEING INSERTED IN THE PHANTOM OR IN THE LESION. The Y-ordinate is identical for a given point appearing on the lefthand and righthand exposures. The computer reads the deviation between the original coordinates (marked with an inverted T on film) and those of the lesion to be punctured. The deviation values are displayed on the X-Y-Z readout of the Controller Unit. 7. Press L1, L2 or L3 1 to select needle length. 8. Needle length can be adjusted in steps of 1 mm via the + key or - key 2 located on either side of the needle length readout. Hold one of the keys down for fast incrementation or decrementation. 9. Release the key to validate the length selected and to hold it in memory even when power is removed from the STEREOTIX 2.
Note:
Needle lengths are preprogrammed at installation: L1 = 70 mm: L2 = 80 mm; L3 = 90 mm. The user can modify this program via the + key or - key 2 . Releasing the key validates the length selected and holds it in memory even during STEREOTIX 2 switch-off. The needle length can be set to a depth of 60 mm thru 120 mm via its key (L1, L2 or L3, 1 ). The readout will not display less than 60 or more than 120.

CHAPTER 3 - EXAM PREPARATION SECTION 1 MAKING A PUNCTURE ON A PATIENT 1-1
Types of Breast Puncture
1-1-1 Cytologic Puncture Cytologic puncture means takinga sampleof thecells from a suspect area in thebreast, whether this zone is palpable or non-palpable in the exposure. The diameter of the needle used for the puncture is usually 0.8 mm thru 1.2 mm. The sample is called the 'material'. A anatomopathology examination is made on the material to determine the type of cells, and to confirm or invalidate its pathological character. Two techniques can be used to obtain a sufficient quantity of cells: a.
Aspiration by a syringe with its needle inserted in the suspect area.
b.
Needle left inserted in the suspect area for a few minutes allowing the cells to move up the needle by capillary action.
1-1-2 Histology Puncture Histology puncture takes a small fragment of tissuefrom thesuspect area in thebreast, whether this area is palpable or not in the clinical examination. This sample is called a 'core sample'. A anatomopathology examination is made on the material to determine thetype of cells, andto confirm of invalidate its pathological character. The diameter of the needle used for the puncture is usually 0.8 mm thru 2.0 mm. The needle is always equipped with a localization wire and has a cutting edge at its distal part or along the length of the needle to cut through the tissue. The core sample is held in the needle by aspiration (syringe).

1-1-3 Preoperative Localization Preoperative localization entails inserting an x-ray-opaque metal wire which emerges from the skin. The wire allows the surgeon to accurately locate the lesion in the breast, as well as to reduce the size of the tissue sample to be removed and so preserve theesthetic form of thebreast. Localization can be preceded by a cytologic or histologic puncture using a needle of 0.9 thru 1.4 mm in diameter. The needle is equipped with a metal wire whose distal point is in the shape of a hook. (The wire may be shipped in the needle or packaged separately.) When the needle is removed from the breast, the wire catches in the lesion and remains in place. 1-2
Preparation The following model list should be adapted to the requirements and techniques of each user. The decision to apply local anaesthetic before the puncture is made by the radiologist. The following items are arranged on a tray (the Senographe DMR accessory tray may be used):

SECTION 2 MAKING A PUNCTURE USING STEREOTIX 2 2-1
POSITIONING
2-1-1 Positioning STEREOTIX 2 on Senographe DMR See illustrations 3-1, 3-2 and 3-3. Depending on the positionof thesuspect x-ray image on the standard mammography exposures, the operator decides the tilt of the Senographe DMR examination arm. For example, if the lesion is distinct and accessible at an oblique angle of 60 _, the operator tilts the examination arm to 60_ so that the patient can be positioned identically for the stereotactic localization exposures. Sometimes, as in preoperative localization, patient positioning depends on the incision to be made by the surgeon. Operator and surgeon need to agree on a suitable positioning for installing the localization wires. 1. Disassemble Senographe DMR accessories. 2. Reduce SID. 3. Place photocell in frontal position (see Chap 2, Para 2-1: STEREOTIX 2 installed on Senographe DMR). 4. Place STEREOTIX 2 on Positioning Arm of Senographe DMR, and close fasteners. 5. Tilt column to selected angular shift using tilt control knobs located above and below of left- and righthand levers of Senographe DMR. Note:
WARNING
The STEREOTIX 2 compression paddles must be in park (High) position. Otherwise, the Up/Down movement and Positioning Arm tilt of the Senographe DMR are inhibited). THE ARM OF THE SENOGRAPHE DMR MUST NOT BE ANGLED MORE THAN +90° OR 90° (i.e. arm horizontal on either side) WHEN STEREOTIX 2 IS USED.

2-1-2 Positioning the Patient See Illustration 3-4 Mammary puncture with STEREOTIX 2 is always carried out with the patient in the seated position. Use the examination seat of the Senographe DMR. Adjusting the Chair: 1. Set chair height and depth of back of chair so that patient is sitting comfortably with her back straight and firmly against the chair back. 2. Set height of footstand so that patient feet are resting without effort. 3. Set height of arm rests to support patient elbows if required by exam position selected. Note:
The patient should be seated in a comfortable position in order to remain motionless for the duration of the exam. This condition is essential for the accuracy of the puncture. N O I T M A A R X A E P E R P

Operating Difficulties It is essential to proceed in a methodical manner for the preparation and running of mammary puncture examinations with the STEREOTIX 2. Observe the following recommendations to ensure the accuracy of the system is maintained.
2-2-1 X-ray Image The suspect image must be of sufficient radiographic quality to be correctly displayed on the localization exposures. This does not concern the size of the image, but its visibility, so that lesions of a size smaller than 0.5 mm can be punctured. The physician must be able to accurately determine the same point to be punctured on each of the two localization exposures, left and right. A deviation of a few millimeters in t he X , Y and Z axes may lead to errors in accuracy when inserting the needle into the breast. 2-2-2 Patient Women undergoing a mammography examination often feel apprehensive because of the examination and the ensuing diagnosis. To reassure the patient, receive her in a warm room and provide a simple but precise explanation of the procedure.
N O I T M A A R X A E P E R P
The patient should be comfortably seated, and well supported by the chair, in order to remain motionless throughout the examination. While the films are being processed, an operator should remain with the patient to ensure that she does not move. The breast should be firmly compressed without, however, causing discomfort to the patient. 2-2-3 Equipment The equipment should be prepared before the start of the examination and placed beside the physician. The accessory tray of the Senographe DMR can be used. The operator must know exactly the length of the needle being used in order to program this length on the STEREOTIX 2. The length is measured from the point to the bottom of the guard. When installing the localization hook, it is recommended to place the point of the needle 5 mm to 10 mm below (0) zero of the Z-coordinate (Z = depth) so that the hook opens below the lesion and surrounds it. This should then to be approved by the physician.

Making Stereoscopic Exposures
2-3-1 Positioning the Breast The breast is positioned under the compression paddle so that the area to be examined is opposite the aperture in the paddle (manual and x-ray localization is required). Compress breast by turning compression knobs (compression must be firm). Note:
WARNING Note:
To ensure that the area to be examined is opposite the aperture of the compression paddle, it is recommended to use an exposure with a 0 _ angular shift, an 18 x 24 cm format cassette placed at the center of the cassette-holder of the STEREOTIX 2.
THE AOP (AUTOMATIC OPTIMIZATION PARAMETERS) MODE CANNOT BE USED WITH STEREOTIX 2. When the compression paddle leaves the park (High) position, the Up/Down and rotation movements of the Senographe DMR are inhibited. To move the tube-arm support, press the trigger lever located at its rear. The silk-screened indicators show the position of the tube-arm support when it is tilted to either side of the Positioning Arm. The color code is: Blue: +/-15_ Orange: +/-27_ Four angle shifts are possible: +15_ thru -15_ to make stereoscopic exposures. +27_ thru -27_ to install the needle (exposure is inhibited).
CAUTION
When the tube-arm support is tilted to +/-15_ (color code: Blue), exposure is permitted only with the STEREOTIX 2 installed. In all other cases, exposure is inhibited and a warning message appears on the Control Console of the SENOGRAPHE DMR.
WARNING
WHEN THE X-RAY TUBE ARM IS BEING UNCOUPLED FROM THE RECEPTOR ARM SUPPORT, DO NOT ALLOW OBSTACLES BETWEEN THE TWO ARMS, AND KEEP YOUR HANDS ON THE LEVERS DURING THE WHOLE MOVEMENT.
