Abstract
Image-guided breast biopsy has become an attractive alternative to wire-localized excisional biopsy to evaluate women with nonpalpable abnormalities detected by breast imaging. We have organized a database from our institution that includes over 3,500 procedures. We have reviewed our institutional results and the literature pertaining to image-guided breast biopsy. Discussed in this review are the indications and contraindications for image-guided biopsy, common techniques employed, accuracy based on pathology, reimbursement issues, and the multidisciplinary approach used at our institution. The results of our review affirm our position that image-guided breast biopsy is the preferred technique to evaluate women with nonpalpable breast imaging abnormalities.
