title: [Technics for the preoperative marking of nonpalpable breast lesions in MRT].
abstract: We describe a method of localizing suspicious breast lesions only visible by MRI that does not require additional hardware and can be carried out on any MRI-scanner suited for MR-mammography. We have performed a total of 48 localizations with different techniques: 28 charcoal/Gd-DTPA, 18 with wires and two skin markings. All localizations have been successful; wire localizations provided the best results, since the position of the wire could be corrected under MR-guidance. Until suitable localization- and biopsy coils become available the methods employed by us provide a satisfactory alternative which allows radiologists who perform diagnostic MR-mammography with techniques to carry out precise pre-operative localisations of breast lesions.
