Image Guided Breast Biopsy

Early detection is key to breast health. Our prompt, efficient service can help you know sooner.

If your doctor recommends a breast biopsy, image guided breast biopsy is a type of biopsy to consider. 

What is an image guided breast biopsy?

Image guided breast biopsy is a minimally invasive in-office procedure; which means it doesn't involve surgery, requires very little time to perform and results in minimal discomfort for you.

It gives your radiologist greater visibility and greater accuracy to reach the part of your breast that may be in question. It requires a local anesthetic, a nick in your skin, and a small, ultrasound-guided tool to navigate the area.

What are the benefits of image guided breast biopsy over conventional biopsies?

The common benefits to you are:

• Less discomfort.
• Fewer after-effects.
• A smaller incision.

Is image guided breast biopsy the best choice for you?

This is a decision for you and your doctor to make. Openly discuss the options, benefits and effectiveness with your provider.
