Indications
An advanced breast biopsy instrumentation (ABBI)/site‐select system may be used for stereotactically aimed biopsy in lesions smaller than 5 mm to avoid or to reduce sampling errors in the following settings:
Histological assessment of suspicious lesions seen at mammography only (BI‐RADS IV);
Presurgical confirmation of malignancy in suspicious lesions seen at mammography only (RADS V);
Histological assessment in the differential diagnosis of mastopathic changes versus ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) (suspicious calcifications; BI‐RADS IV/V).
Contraindications
Severe coagulopathy as well as allergic reactions to local anesthetics constitute absolute contraindications to using the ABBI/site‐select system.
Technology
Both the ABBI (advanced breast biopsy instrumentation; Firma Lorad) and the site‐select system (Firma Ethicon Endo‐Surgery, Breast Care) support digital stereotactic excisional biopsy. Computerized digital mammography (10 line pairs/mm, monitor matrix of...
