Image - guided percutaneous breast biopsies
نویسنده
چکیده
Diagnosis of breast cancer at its earliest stage affords women the best prognosis. The role of the breast imager has evolved from cancer screening and detection to now include diagnosis and management with the widespread adoption of image-guided core biopsy. This article will briefly discuss the current imageguided biopsy techniques for the diagnosis of suspicious breast findings, specifically, stereotactic, ultrasound and MR-guided, and the evidence in the literature emphasizing proven efficacy for each. For those lesions which cannot undergo percutaneous biopsy, this report will also discuss the use of marker placement at the time of wire localization and excision for ensuring and verifying biopsy of the appropriate lesion.

Percutaneous image-guided breast biopsies are rapid, minimally invasive procedures that make surgery unnecessary for a large majority (70-80%) of patients whose lesions will prove to be benign. The imageguided biopsies are performed under local anesthetic with no need for conscious sedation using a small incision that requires no stitches to close. The procedures do not deform the breast and ca...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to determine whether the use of ultrasound and percutaneous breast biopsies in patients with screen-detected nonpalpable abnormalities can reduce benign open surgical biopsies of the breast without increasing cost or sacrificing detection of potentially curable breast carcinomas. METHOD Using a computerized mammography database and consecutive logs o...

BACKGROUND The diagnostic yield was evaluated of percutaneous image-guided tissue biopsy of hepatic lesions identified on computed tomography performed for staging of a primary malignancy, and it was determined how often the biopsy result was unexpectedly negative, benign, or secondary to a second unknown malignancy. METHODS In a retrospective investigation from 1998 through 2008, 580 patient...
