title: MRI-Guided percutaneous biopsy of breast lesions: materials, techniques, success rates, and management in patients with suspected radiologic-pathologic mismatch.
abstract: MR imaging of the breast allows the detection of suspicious breast lesions that are occult at mammography and ultrasound. For the histologic verification of such lesions, percutaneous MR imaging-guided biopsy techniques can now be offered as an alternative to open breast biopsy. This review focuses on the currently available devices and techniques for MR imaging-guided percutaneous breast biopsy and reports their achievable diagnostic accuracy. Technical success rates and strategies for patient management are also outlined. In addition, new developments in MR imaging-guided minimally invasive therapeutic interventions are discussed, as well as the potential for research opportunities and directions.
