A free one-hour live webinar for radiologists, radiologic technologists, and other healthcare providers who manage patients with breast disease

Course Overview
Given its exquisite ability to pinpoint a lesion, stereotactic breast biopsy remains a reliable and accurate means for sampling and diagnosis of mammographically-detected breast lesions. Breast stereotaxis offers obvious benefits to both patient and practitioner compared to needle wire localization and open surgical biopsy. Given the advent of 3D image-guided prone stereotaxis, breast imagers and interventionalists may now add another minimally invasive, safe, and accurate biopsy technique to their portfolio of image-guided breast biopsy options.


Educational Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

  • Describe how the addition of 3D mammography to current practice can introduce new challenges that can be solved with tomosynthesis-directed biopsy
  • Explain the mechanics of 3D image-guided biopsy with tomosynthesis and how to safely and effectively sample the lesion(s) of interest
  • Discuss potential complications and challenges of 3D image-guided biopsy and compare upright tomosynthesis-directed biopsy to prone techniques
