What is it indicated for?
The Pristina Serena option provides the three-dimensional location of target lesions, using information obtained from stereotactic pairs of two-dimensional X-ray images. This information provides guidance for a variety of minimally invasive or interventional procedures in the breast such as: vacuum assisted biopsy, core biopsy, pre-surgical localization (e.g. hookwire), and fine needle aspirations (FNA).
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
