Curr Probl Diagn Radiol. 2017 Mar-Apr;46(2):161-169. doi: 10.1067/j.cpradiol.2016.02.008. Epub 2016 Feb 20.

Abstract

Imaging and image-guided interventions have become increasingly important in the workup and treatment of breast lesions in the past 2 decades. Radiologists should be aware of potential pitfalls during the workup, the procedure itself, and in the postprocedure follow-up. In this pictorial review, we illustrate challenges related to technique and interpretation related to breast interventions, and suggest ways to maximize success.
