Major complications, such as hemorrhage and infection, are extremely rare, although post-biopsy ecchymosis and tenderness are not unusual. Because less tissue is removed, post-biopsy cos...
متن کاملStereotactic Vacuum-Assisted Biopsy of Microcalcifications Using an Upright Add-On Type Stereotactic Mammography Unit
device is a widely used technique for the diagnosis of nonpalpable breast lesions discovered by mammography (1-3). An add-on device attached to a regular mammography unit can be used for a stereotactic breast biopsy. Its advantages are that it is less expensive than a prone table and extra space for the equipment is unnecessary (3). There is a paucity of reports on the effectiveness of the use ...
