title: [Interventional radiology in nonpalpable lesions of the breast].
abstract: The increasing number of nonpalpable breast lesions found at screening mammography has induced the development of percutaneous imaging-guided procedures to reduce the number of surgical biopsies. After a description of the indications (classification of the American College of Radiology), the different types of sampling procedures (fine needle aspiration, core and large-core biopsies) will be described and the material used also. Depending on the type of breast lesions (mass, clustered microcalcifications), ultrasound--guided and stereotactic--guided biopsies will be explained. Clear information to the patients, efficient quality control and multidisciplinary approach are mandatory for the success of these percutaneous diagnostic procedures.
