title: Patient follow-up after concordant histologically benign imaging-guided biopsy of MRI-detected lesions.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this study was to review the reported experience and suggest follow-up after biopsy for MRI-detected lesions.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Imaging-guided biopsy, using MRI or sonographic guidance, of MRI-detected lesions may result in false-negative results that are not appreciated at the time of the biopsy. A 6-month follow-up MRI is suggested as the most appropriate interval to identify lesions that were missed at biopsy without clinically significant delay in diagnosis of those lesions that are malignant.
