Abstract

The authors present phantom test results for a stereotaxic device that may permit simple, rapid, and accurate needle biopsy and localization of breast lesions detected at contrast material-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) mammography. The mechanical accuracy of this prototype MR breast localizer is approximately plus or minus 3.5 mm at 5 cm.

Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the breast.

Fine-needle aspiration biopsy is a quick, accurate, cost-effective office procedure that increases the diagnostic usefulness of breast examination. It is a technique best used at initial discovery of a lesion. Its sensitivity, ranging from 90 to 97 percent in large series, depends on two factors: biopsy performance and interpretation. To attain a high sensitivity for this procedure, a team approach that includes the physician, pathologist and radiologist is essential.

Breast cancer: getting the diagnosis right.

Distinguishing between early breast cancer and benign conditions, which are much more common, can be difficult. Careful clinical examination and directed imaging, supported by fine needle aspiration cytology, provide a high level of diagnostic accuracy.
