Comparison of two visual localization biopsy methods for suspicious breast lesions under mammography: a multicenter cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Compared with traditional mammography, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) increases the detection of breast lesions by reducing the overlapping masking effect of glands through multi-angle exposures of a rotating X-ray tube. Breast biopsy under the guidance of mammography can effectively diagnose breast lesions. The main methods of mammography-guided biopsy include wire positioning, core needle biopsy (CNB), and vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB). Currently, it is mainly guided by stereotactic or DBT-guided localization. In this study, we conducted a retrospective study to compare the clinical efficiency and performance of DBT-guided and prone stereotactic (PS)-guided breast lesion biopsies.

Methods

We performed a retrospective analysis of 406 patients who under
