This can be accomplished surgically, or by withdrawing tissue through a needle. Procedures and Devices to their offering.

Market Overview The global market for breast biopsy devices, is valued at over $200 million in 2005, and will experience nearly double digit growth throughout the forecast period. Overall, this market will be driven by the implementation and expansion of screening mammography mammography, diagnostic procedure that uses low-dose X rays to detect abnormalities in the breasts. The early diagnosis of breast cancer made possible by the routine use of mammography for screening women increases a woman's treatment alternatives and improves her programs in Europe and in Japan, which will cause demand for breast biopsy procedures to increase. In particular, minimally invasive breast biopsy procedures, such as Vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VAB), Core Needle Biopsy (CNB), and Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) will grow, causing the volume of image-guided breast biopsies to rise. In all regions, the VAB market will experience the most significant growth due to increasing recognition of the clinical benefits of this method, such as the procurement of larger tissue samples that allow for more accurate diagnosis. The market for CNB will also grow over the forecast period, driven by higher unit sales unit sales Sales measured in terms of physical units rather than dollars. Unit sales data are often used by financial analysts when evaluating the health of a company. resulting from increasing demand for breast biopsy procedures.

List of Exhibits Executive Summary Methodology Chapter 1: Global Breast Biopsy Market Chapter 2: Us Breast Biopsy Market Chapter 3: European Breast Biopsy Market Chapter 4: Japanese Breast Biopsy Market The following report uses a number of methodologies to gather and present data and analysis. At the outset, a large survey of secondary sources is conducted. These sources act as the basis for the primary research stage, which builds and enhances the quantitative and qualitative attributes of the early research. Secondary sources include: Government Sources: - Securities and Exchange Commission filings - Food and Drug Administration and patent filings - National Center for Health Statistics National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which is part of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. NCHS is the United States' principal health statistics agency. data Breast Biopsy Companies: - Annual reports, product brochures, corporate profiles, etc. Internal Databases and Reports: - Previous reports on similar/related sources General Internet Searches, Medical Literature and Newspaper/Magazine Searches: - Identifying various centers of specialization and articles that might provide leads for primary research. The secondary research stage builds the foundation for the primary research. The primary research methodology has four steps: Step 1: The first step involves an impartial scan of all the information gathered during the secondary research stage to determine its utility based on the specific requirements of this report. Each piece of information is, thus, either discarded or marked as high or low priority. It is then organized appropriately as determined by the structure and sectioning of the report. Step 2: At this stage, early assumptions are formed as to the implications of the information for the various breast biopsy market segments. These assumptions are then used to determine hypotheses using both inductive and deductive de·duc·tive adj. 1. Of or based on deduction. 2. Involving or using deduction in reasoning. de·duc approaches. On the quantitative front, these hypotheses result in full historical and projected market data sets (market sizes [units and US$] and market shares). Step 3: At this stage, the research is in position for its most important primary phaseCoexpert interviews. Throughout the secondary research, industry and medical experts are identified. These experts are now contacted by telephone and asked to participate in interviews on recent trends and developments in the industry. Interviews are either conducted at the time of the initial call or scheduled at the convenience of the expert. Interview questions are tailored to the expertise of the particular interviewee, although in most cases, the most important questions are asked of all experts. The questions are largely based on the assumptions and hypotheses developed in Step 2, which are then either augmented, discarded, or adjusted, based on the views and positions put forth. Attempts are made, whenever possible, to cross-check the views of various experts against each other and reach positions of consensus on issues and market numbers. Step 4: The final stage of primary research involves individual and group analysis by us. All research results are assessed and cross-checked thoroughly to determine their validity, relevance, and weight. From this process, qualitative conclusions are reached and data points finalized. Forecast Methodology In addition to Steps 1 through 4 (as outlined above), the following "bottom-up" methodology was followed in developing forecast assumptions for this report. A comprehensive breakdown of various breast biopsy procedures was prepared using data from several sources including professional associations, government statistics, and private research/media sources. Industry experts and practitioners were consulted to ensure accuracy and verify observed trends. As a cross-check, total industry revenues available through 10Ks and other sources were compared against modeled industry revenues. Using the best estimates of industry experts, practitioners, private research/media sources, and in-house experts, year-by-year growth rates Growth Rates The compounded annualized rate of growth of a company's revenues, earnings, dividends, or other figures.

These estimates were cross-checked by industry experts (marketing managers, product managers, CEOs, etc.) and further refined. Overall findings were compared against market and procedure forecasts published by other sources to ensure reasonable estimates. Currency Exchange Rates All forecasts in this report use the average 2005 exchange rates presented in Exhibit M-1. Exchange rates used are the average exchange rates over the period 01/01/2005 to 30/06/2005 and are assumed, for the purpose of forecasting, to remain constant over the forecast period. Note: In tables and graphs throughout the report, slight variation may appear and some numbers may not add to totals due to rounding.
