What is a Stereotactic Breast Biopsy?
A stereotactic breast biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure used to obtain a small sample of breast tissue for evaluation. This procedure is often recommended when a mammogram detects a suspicious area that cannot be felt during a physical exam. By using advanced imaging technology, our specialists can accurately locate the area of concern and extract a tissue sample for further testing.
