I remember we discussed the different codes for breast biopsies, but I'm not sure if 19081 is the right one for a percutaneous biopsy.

This question seems straightforward, I think I can narrow it down based on the differences between OpenShift and Kubernetes.

Okay, I think I've got a strategy here. Azure Security Center and Azure Monitor both have compliance and reporting features, so those would be my top choices. I'd need to dig into the details of each to see which one is better suited for the ISO 27001 requirements.

I bet the answer is hidden in the Gelmark clip. Maybe it's made of gold and I can use 19125 instead. Gotta think outside the box, you know?

Hmm, let me think. I'll go with B. 19100 for the biopsy and 76098 for the specimen imaging. Sounds about right, right?

C'mon, it's gotta be C. 19101 for the biopsy and 19283 for the stereotactic guidance. Who doesn't know that?
