The invention provides materials, devices and methods for marking biopsy sites for a limited time. The biopsy-marking materials are ultrasound-detectable bio-resorbable powders, with powder particles typically between about 20 microns and about 800 microns in maximum dimension, more preferably between about 300 microns and about 500 microns. The powders may be formed of polymeric materials containing cavities sized between about 10 microns and about 500 microns, and may also contain binding agents, anesthetic agents, hemostatic agents, and radiopaque markers. Devices for delivering the powders include tubes configured to contain the powders and to fit within a biopsy cannula, the powders being ejected by action of a syringe. Systems may include a tube containing powder, and a syringe containing sterile saline. The tube may be configured to fit within a biopsy cannula such as a Mammotome® or SenoCor 360™ cannula.

The marker mass of claim 10, wherein at least some of the particles have both internal bubble cavities and have exposed surfaces of broken bubble cavities. 14. The marker mass of claim 10, having an ultrasonically detectable in-vivo lifetime of not greater than about 20 weeks. 15. The marker mass of claim 10, having an ultrasonically detectable in-vivo lifetime between about 6 weeks and about 12 weeks. 16. The marker mass of claim 10, wherein the particles are held together with a binding agent. 17. The marker mass of claim 16, wherein the binding agent is selected from the group consisting of gelatin, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, glycerine, acrylic hydrogels, organic hydrogels, and combinations thereof. 18. The marker mass of claim 16, wherein the binding agent is selected from the group consisting of bovine collagen, porcine collagen, ovine collagen, equine collagen, synthetic collagen, agar, synthetic gelatin, and combinations thereof. 19. The marker mass of claim 10, comprising one part gelatin and about five parts comminuted bio-resorbable polymeric material, the particles of the comminuted material having bubble cavities about 50 to about 200 microns in size. 20. The marker mass of claim 10, comprising about one part gelatin to about three parts polymeric material.
