title: MR mammographic localization. Work in progress.
abstract: The authors present phantom test results for a stereotaxic device that may permit simple, rapid, and accurate needle biopsy and localization of breast lesions detected at contrast material-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) mammography. The mechanical accuracy of this prototype MR breast localizer is approximately plus or minus 3.5 mm at 5 cm.
