Aim: Presentation of our first experiences with vacuum biopsy technique guided by magnetic resonance (MR).
Materials and method. All examinations were performed on MR Magnetom Avanto 1.5T system (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) with Breast Biopsy device system (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany). The biopsies were done using Vacora Vacuum Assisted Breast Biopsy system.
Results: 17 patients were examined from September 2007 till April 2008. Histological verification was 6× invasive carcinoma (36%), 2× DCIS (11%), 6× benign lesion (36%), 3× normal breast tissue (17%). No examination had to be cancelled or precociously ended from any reasons, there was no medical complication after the procedure.
Conclusion: Biopsy guided under MR control precisely fills up the whole examination algorithm in diagnostics of breast carcinoma. Such biopsy in combination with MR displays high sensitivity. The use of this technique is especially valuable in cases, where breast lesion has no correlation in any other modality.
