A member asked:
Has anyone ever have stereotactic biopsy done or?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely: Stereotactic guidance is frequently used to guide breast needle biopsies particularly of microcalcifications. If a lesion can be seen under ultrasound, that is usually preferred for guidance since the positioning and lack of need for compression is easier for patient and breast surgeon.
