About This Grant:
This project will support Northern Light Sebasticook Valley Hospital’s (SVH) new Stereotactic Breast Biopsy arm. When used with SVH’s existing 3D mammography machine, the device enables timely biopsies of areas within breast tissue that are not accessible by ultrasound, reducing the time to diagnosis and helping ensure faster, more accurate care for patients.
