Abstract

With the increasing use of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in breast imaging practices, a growing number of lesions are being identified by DBT only. DBT-guided biopsies, both upright and prone, have become proven methods for accurate tissue sampling of these DBT-only lesions. This chapter reviews the DBT-guided biopsy options, the procedure, and related research.
