What is an Ultrasound Guided Breast Biopsy?
This is a procedure usually performed on the breast by the Radiologist or a General Surgeon by positioning a needle utilizing ultrasound of the breast. A sample of tissue is aspirated manually in a syringe or by a small device called a biopsy gun. Usually local anesthesia is used on the skin so the patient will not feel any pain, only the pressure of the fingers on the skin.
