In the article, the authors present a step-by-step description of how to perform ultrasound-guided core-needle breast biopsies safely, effectively, and efficiently. The authors help familiarize radiologists with important aspects of the procedure, including choosing the most appropriate biopsy device, optimal patient positioning, safe and effective handling of the needle, and providing the patient with post-biopsy care and instructions.</p>Tuesday, 26 Feb 2013 15:22:04 GMT
