Localization of breast lesions identified on only one mammographic view

Densidade mamográfica assimétrica: como investigar? (Revisão de literatura e apresentação de rotina de investigação)

“…Especial atenção deve ser dirigida ao estudo comparativo com exames anteriores, quando disponíveis, que pode ser definitivo quando demonstrar alteração na área assimétrica, seja pelo aumento das dimensões, mudança da forma ou da densidade, ou pela associação com sinais secundários, como distorção arquitetural ou microcalcificações (13) .…”

Cytologic interpretation of fine‐needle aspiration biopsies from clinically occult breast masses

“…In the latter months of the study, one patient with a cytologic diagnosis of fibroadenoma had no further surgery, and four patients with a definitive cytologic diagnosis of can- The technique for placement of the aspirating needle is similar to that used for needle localization with a fenestrated mammographic compression plate. 15,16 Either a 22or a 25-gauge spinal needle was used. When the needle tip was appropriately positioned in the patient suction was applied, and four to five needle thrusts were made through the mass.…”

Needle Localization for Surgical Procedures

“…Other proposed methods include slight angulation of the needle in the breast in the same projection as insertion, with calculation of the geometric foreshortening effect of the needle, to determine the location of the lesion along the shaft of the needle. 30 Orthogonal oblique views, nonstandard mammographic images, have also been suggested. 31 Currently, the easiest method for needle localization of lesions seen in only one view is probably stereotactic localization, as described above.…”
