title: Avoiding Pitfalls, Maximizing Success at Image-guided Breast Interventions: A Pictorial Review.
abstract: Imaging and image-guided interventions have become increasingly important in the workup and treatment of breast lesions in the past 2 decades. Radiologists should be aware of potential pitfalls during the workup, the procedure itself, and in the postprocedure follow-up. In this pictorial review, we illustrate challenges related to technique and interpretation related to breast interventions, and suggest ways to maximize success.
