Ultrasonically guided biopsy of nonpalpable lesions of the breast by the spot method

Surg Gynecol Obstet. 1990 Feb;170(2):153-5.

Abstract

A new biopsy method by injecting dye under ultrasonic guidance is most efficient and accurate for nonpalpable lesions revealed by ultrasonography. It can also minimize the amount of tissue that is resected. The conventional method by needle-wire localization has to be used in instances of calcification which cannot be defined by ultrasonography.
