20090143672METHOD FOR MAPPING IMAGE REFERENCE POINTS TO
FACILITATE BIOPSY USING MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING - In NMR/MRI
imaging, a location is noted for a point in the imaged space,
and referred to a reference location so that the point in imaged
space is known thereafter, without the need to locate the point
again in further imaging steps. For breast cancer diagnosis and
biopsy, a breast holding fixture immobilizes the breast. A
volumetric image is taken encompassing a portion of the breast.
In the same or a subsequent image, a fiducial mark is detected
