CT-guided core needle biopsy of breast lesions visible only on MRI.
OBJECTIVE
As breast MRI has become more widely used, the need to biopsy suspicious lesions visible only on MRI has increased. A small percentage of these lesions are not amenable to MR-guided biopsy. We report our technique of CT-guided core needle biopsy of breast lesions.


CONCLUSIONS
CT-guided core needle biopsy is a safe and effective method for sampling breast lesions visible only on MRI when MR-guided biopsy is not feasible.
