In the past, patients with a breast mass had only one choice, a 1-step surgical intervention procedure. However, today, image-guided biopsy provides a 2-step method that allows time for consultation and decision-making choices after the biopsy but before the next step. Studies have shown that the emotional burden of breast cancer is easier to bear if biopsy and treatment are performed at separate times. This course provides a review of breast anatomy and physiology, current breast cancer statistics, and the most common types of breast cancer. Excerpts from the American College of Radiology Guidelines for the performance of both breast biopsy and pre-operative needle localization using mammography/stereotactic breast biopsy, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging guided breast biopsy. Details are provided regarding fine needle and core biopsy procedures as well as stereotactic procedures. Indications and contraindications are included as appropriate to each imaging modality discussed. A brief history of mammography and breast biopsy is provided. A review of recommended universal precautions and preparation for participation in surgical interventional procedures is also provided. This course contains a reference with 191 pages and a posttest with 75 multiple-choice questions. This course applies to mammographers, radiologic technologists (RTs) and limited radiographers.
