Percutaneous image-guided needle core biopsy is faster, less<br />
invasive and less expensive than surgical biopsy and has<br />
thus become the alternative for histopathology assessment<br />
of breast lesions. The choice of the respective image<br />
guidance method depends on lesion type (mass lesion,<br />
microcalcifications) as well as the visualisation through<br />
the various diagnostic imaging modalities. This practical<br />
course reviews indications, advantages, limitations and<br />
controversial issues in percutaneous image-guided biopsy<br />
of breast lesions under stereotactic, ultrasound and MR<br />
imaging guidance.<br />
Participants will work on phantoms not only to learn the<br />
device-related technical aspects of the performance but<br />
also how to choose the adequate guidance method, how<br />
to prepare the patient and percutaneous biopsy device,<br />
and how to adequately approach the lesion. Oncological<br />
as well as quality assurance aspects will be emphasised.<br />
The practical training courses are <strong>org</strong>anised to allow time<br />
for each participant to perform interventions under expert<br />
supervision.<br />
Learning objectives:<br />
1. To comprehend the indications and limitations<br />
of percutaneous image-guided breast biopsy.<br />
2. To understand how to ensure quality standards of<br />
breast biopsy under stereotactic, ultrasound and<br />
MR imaging guidance.<br />
3. To learn how to chose the adequate imaging<br />
guidance modality and prepare the patient accordingly.<br />
4. To be able to select the appropriate percutaneous<br />
biopsy device (automated large core or directional<br />
vacuum-assisted biopsy probe).<br />
5. To be able to perform breast biopsies under<br />
stereotactic, ultrasound and MR imaging guidance<br />
in accordance to international standards.<br />
