Types of Biopsy Services We Offer
Breast Ultrasound Biopsy
An ultrasound-guided breast biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure used to test lumps or masses in the breast by extracting cells with a specialized needle. When a questionable or suspicious finding is discovered on imaging, the radiologist may recommend a breast needle biopsy to determine if the mass is benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancer). An imaging abnormality seen by ultrasound can be biopsied using ultrasound as a guide, even if it cannot be felt on clinical or self-breast examination. The physicians at Together Women’s Health Imaging Center use their extensive clinical experience to determine the need for biopsy.
Breast Stereotactic Biopsy
Assessing for early changes in the breast tissue, a breast stereotactic biopsy localizes breast cluster calcifications in 3D and generates images from various angles with X-rays. The stereotactic procedure shows the radiologist where to biopsy these small calcifications, the size of grains of sand. The tissue sample is obtained through a small anesthetized nick on the skin, so small that no stitches are needed.
