1. A biopsy device comprising:
- an outer cannula having a lateral tissue receiving aperture;
an inner tubular cutter disposed for translation within the cannula;
a sensor responsive to translation position of the inner tubular cutter;
a graphical display attached proximally to the outer cannula operably configured to depict the translation position in response to the sensor.

Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compatible core biopsy system uses a biopsy device having intuitive graphical displays and a detachable remote keypad that advantageously allows convenient control even within the close confines afforded by a localization fixture installed within a breast coil that localizes a patient'"'"'s breast and guides a probe of the biopsy device relative to the localized breast. A control module for interactive control and power generation are remotely positioned and communicate and transmit rotational mechanical energy via sheathed cable.

14. A surgical biopsy system comprising:
-
a handpiece including an elongated, hollow cannula and a cutter rotatably and axially positionable relative to the hollow cannula, the hollow cannula having a lateral port for receiving the tissue sample into the hollow cannula;
a power source remotely positioned from the handpiece and operatively coupled via a mechanical drive cable to the cutter for rotating and translating the cutter;
a control unit operatively associated with the handpiece; and
a display attached to the handpiece and operatively configured with the control unit wherein the display provides a graphical display of an operational mode of the surgical biopsy system. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
