    Abstract

    Breast intervention has evolved over the last two decades from being confined to image guidance for surgical excision biopsy of nonpalpable abnormalities to minimally invasive per cutaneous biopsy procedures performed under mammographic, ultrasound, and MRI guidance. The rate of open surgical biopsy has seen a dramatic drop during this time period and is now used for specific indications only. This chapter provides an overview of breast interventional procedures in four sections: ultrasound-guided breast biopsy, MRI-guided biopsy, presurgical needle wire localization, and stereotactic breast biopsy.
