A member asked:
How do they find cancer in breast with stereotactic biopsy? what method they use to find cancer in breast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3 D visualization: A stereotactic mammogram takes 2 simultaneous views of the breast and a computer creates a 3-d image, much like what our brain does with the views from both eyes. With the help of the image, a needle can be guided to the precise site of the mass in question to take a sample.

Had a diagnostic 3Dmammo & located a 1cm asymmetry in L breast. It is visable in the CC & MLO views, classified bi-rad 4. Nothing seen on US but referred me for stereotactic biopsy next week. Being that it was not seen on US could it still be cancer?
