Diagnostic Accuracy of Stereotactic Vacuum―assisted Biopsy of Breast Tissues

Diagnostic accuracy of vacuum-assisted stereotactic core needle biopsy for breast lesions.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the vacuum-assisted stereotactic core needle biopsy (CNB) for breast lesions. MATERIAL AND METHOD Sixty-four lesions that had undergone vacuum-assisted stereotactic CNB between January 2003 and December 2005 in Ramathibodi Breast diagnostic center were included in this study. Pathologic results of CNB were reviewed and correlated with pathologi...

Evaluation of 126 Consecutive Stereotactic Procedures : Brain Biopsy , Diagnostic Yield , Accuracy , Non - Diagnostic

adequate therapy (34). Stereotactic surgery started with the Horsley-Clarke apparatus in 1908 (14). After the introduction of stereotactic surgery in human patients by Spiegel and Wycis in 1947, this approach has been used safely and effectively to obtain tissue diagnosis for intracranial lesions. There are many papers establishing the issues related to the safety, accuracy and diagnostic yield...

Diagnostic yield of stereotactic brain biopsy.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic yield, accuracy, and safety of frame-based stereotactic brain biopsy procedures. METHODS A retrospective study of all pathologically diagnosed intracranial lesions, using frame-based stereotactic guided brain biopsy procedures performed at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSH&RC), Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia between 1993 and 2005 w...

Prone table stereotactic breast biopsy.

The prone table machine is a mammographic X-ray system specially designed for use in the stereotactic localisation of breast abnormality. In this study, its clinical usefulness was investigated in terms of duration, success rate, complications, and patients' acceptance of the procedure. During a 5-month period, 79 patients attended the Kwong Wah Hospital for stereotactic-guided biopsy on the pr...
