In 1988 two separate technologies were joined together by a team of radiologists in Denver, Colorado: a stereotactic breast biopsy system and an automated biopsy gun system. With the union of these two technologies, a new era in early breast cancer diagnosis began, stereotactic core breast biopsy. Any lesion that can be seen by mammography can be accurately biopsied with the stereotactic core breast biopsy. The accuracy of the procedure depends upon highly developed mammography skills and is, consequently, an advanced radiology procedure. Accuracy is equal to or greater than accuracy with traditional localization and open, surgical breast biopsy. |
