An adapter for securing a biopsy guidance module to a breast imaging system, the adapter comprising:

• an adapter body comprising a first side and an opposite second side;
• an armature extending from the first side of the adapter body;
• a latch mechanism disposed proximate an end of the armature distal from the first side of the adapter body, wherein the latch mechanism comprises an adapter latch and an actuator, wherein the adapter latch is configured to engage an interface on the breast imaging system and wherein the actuator is engaged with the adapter latch to move the adapter latch from an unlocked position to a locked position, wherein in the locked position, the adapter latch is releasably engaged with the interface;
• and
• a keeper disposed on the second side of the adapter body, wherein the keeper is configured to receive a module latch from the biopsy guidance module.
