What is Breast Biopsy (ultrasound-guided, percutaneous)? Read the full explainer →

Breast Biopsy (ultrasound-guided, percutaneous)

This takes tissue from a breast abnormality through a needle, with an ultrasound probe held on the skin so the radiologist can watch the needle reach the target in real time. Nothing is cut open, most people are back to normal the next day, and the answer comes from the laboratory.
