[Experiences with a new breast localization needle].
In view of the increasing number of biopsies of non-palpable lesions of the female breast we found an ideal localisation system in the Hawkins breast localisation needle. Localisation was successful without technical problems in 31 out of 34 patients. The special advantages of the needle are its stability in position and excellent maneuverability due to the construction of the needle. The very simple handling of the needle is an advantage not only for the radiologist but also for the surgeon.
