Patent ID: 7744543

Claim:
A method comprising: a. providing a guide block with a body which has a proximal face, a distal face, a distance between the proximal and distal faces, a central longitudinal axis extending between the proximal and distal faces and which has i. a first passageway in the guide block which is centrally disposed within the body, which has an opening along a length thereof, which is configured to receive a tissue accessing device, which has a maximum transverse dimension less than the distance between the proximal and distal faces and which is parallel to the longitudinal axis, ii. a second passageway in the guide block which is disposed within the body and which is located vertical or horizontal to the first passageway, which is configured to receive the tissue accessing device, which has a maximum transverse dimension less than the distance between the proximal and distal faces, which is spaced from and the first passageway and which is parallel to the longitudinal axis, iii. a third passageway in the guide block which is disposed within the body, which is located with a diagonal orientation to the first passageway and which has a longitudinal opening along a length thereof that is coextensive with and is in fluid communication with the opening in the first passageway, which is configured to receive the tissue accessing device, which has a maximum transverse dimension less than the distance between the proximal and distal faces and which is parallel to the longitudinal axis, and iv. a fourth passageway in the guide block which is disposed within the body, which is located diagonal to the first passageway and in an opposite side of the body from the diagonal orientation of the third passageway, which is spaced from the first, second and third passageways, which is configured to receive the tissue accessing device, which has a maximum transverse dimension less than the distance between the proximal and distal faces and which is parallel to the longitudinal axis; and b. inserting the guide block into a grid opening of a magnetic resonance imaging device.
