identified abnormal breast mass for<br />
examination. A sample of suspicious<br />
breast tissue is precisely located with<br />
ultrasound guidance and removed<br />
with a vacuum assisted needle. This<br />
outpatient procedure requires no<br />
hospitalization or surgical incision<br />
and is performed using only local<br />
anesthesia.<br />
