The aims of this review are to compare and contrast the available stereotactic equipment,
and to describe the variety of needle types used and their affect on pathological results and …

PURPOSE: The compare the performance and ability to obtain a correct diagnosis on
needle biopsy between 11 gauge and 8 gauge vacuum assisted biopsy devices …

Purpose To describe the clinical and economic consequences of image-guided core biopsy
versus surgical excisional biopsy of mammographically identified breast lesions. Patients …

Objective To evaluate the reliability of stereotactic core-needle breast biopsy (SCNB)
performed by surgeons to detect histologically benign tissue. Summary Background Data …

Introduction. Due to screening mammography, more nonpalpable mammographic lesions
warrant histological evaluation. Stereotactic large-core needle biopsy (SLCNB) has been …

PURPOSE: To prospectively determine whether there is a minimum number of cores
required for histopathologic diagnosis of mammographically detected nonpalpable breast …

Background: Large-core biopsies or open biopsies with needle localization have been the
mainstay of treatment for evaluating nonpalpable mammographic abnormalities. The newly …

Stereotactic core biopsy is becoming increasingly popular as a technique which provides a
histologic diagnosis for mammographic abnormalities while avoiding the trauma, deformity …

Background Mammograms are assigned a BI-RADS (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data
System) category, which indicates the level of suspicion for cancer. Objectives (i) To …

Objective The authors evaluated the differences between stereotactic core needle biopsy
(SCNBx) and needle localization surgical biopsy (NLBx) in cost and treatment course for …
