title: [Results of mammography combined with selected needle biopsy (author's transl)].
abstract: A compression tube with holes is used to detect small, non-palpable changes in the breast. The holes show on X-ray of the breast. Densifications of 5 mm, and even smaller at different levels of the gland may be punctured and aspirated with a double canula through the holes of the tube. It is possible to control the correct course of the aspiration needle with an X-ray contrast medium. In the same way the position of a small tumour can be marked with a dye. Amongst 85 carcinomas of the breast there were 5 preinvasive tumours. 3 of these were only diagnosed following X-ray-controlled needle biopsy and cytological examination.
