Recorded MR Guided Breast Biopsy

MR-guided breast biopsy has emerged as a crucial technique for diagnosing abnormalities that are not visible using other imaging modalities, emphasizing the need for specialized knowledge among radiologists and MR technologists. However, gaps persist in understanding the rationale for MR breast imaging, proper execution of MR-guided biopsies, and the calculation of biopsy locations with precision. This course addresses these gaps by providing a comprehensive overview of breast MR imaging, accreditation processes, and the procedural differences associated with vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) systems. Participants will learn to assist in calculating biopsy sites, improve accuracy using CAD systems, and understand manual calculation methods.

Learning Objectives

  1. Identify the reasons for conducting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast.
  2. Explain the rationale behind performing an MRI biopsy.
  3. Compare and contrast the MRI biopsy procedure with vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) techniques.
  4. Assist the Radiologist in accurately determining the location for biopsy procedures.
