If an abnormality appears on your mammogram, further tests may be necessary to rule out a serious health concern. In many cases additional mammograms or other imaging techniques can be used, but sometimes a biopsy is required. Three types of biopsy procedures can be utilized.
Stereotactic Breast Biopsy
This procedure takes x-rays from multiple angles to pinpoint the location of the abnormality. A tissue sample can then be extracted and taken for analysis. A stereotactic breast biopsy is simple, fast, and requires only local anesthetic. Most women experience only minimal discomfort.
Ultrasound Guided Biopsy
This procedure uses ultrasound technology to pinpoint the location of the abnormality. A tissue sample can then be extracted and taken for analysis. Like the stereotactic procedure, an ultrasound guided breast biopsy is simple, fast, and requires only local anesthetic. Most women experience only minimal discomfort.
Needle Localization
Needle localization is the placement of a needle into the breast tissue for identifying an abnormality. X-rays are taken throughout the procedure to ensure accurate positioning of the needle. Once an x-ray confirms the correct location, a small wire is guided into the tissue and sample is taken of the suspicious area for analysis.
