Breast Biopsy or Aspiration
Stereotactic breast biopsy and ultrasound-guided breast biopsy (or aspiration) are techniques where breast tissue is sampled with a needle and sent to the lab for analysis. These biopsy techniques can avoid the need for surgery, and are usually painless. The radiologist will determine which type of technique to use based on the appearance of the suspicious area on your mammogram or sonogram. |
