  • Doppler confirms the size of this artery and its position relative to the lesion that is for biopsy. A quick look with doppler at a lesion for biopsy is good policy. In this case you will approach the lesion from a distance and fire your gun parallel to the skin. Doppler also gives you an indication of how vascular the lesion itself is.
