Abstract

With image-guided percutaneous needle biopsy, different procedures are available today to remove tissue samples without surgery. By guiding tissue removal stereotactically with X-ray, ultrasound, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), even nonpalpable lesions can be accurately biopsied. None of these methods requires hospitalization and all of them can be carried out with the patient under local anesthesia. Which method is used in an individual case depends on the type of lesion detected.

There are acknowledged guidelines regarding indications and technique for the different procedures as well various treatises on the efficacy and effectiveness of minimally invasive breast biopsies.
