What does breast interventional radiology involve?
Breast interventional radiology uses imaging, such as ultrasound, mammography or MRI, to guide minimally invasive procedures through a small opening rather than open surgery. The most common is an image-guided biopsy, where a needle is used to take tissue samples, and it can also include procedures such as cyst drainage and placing markers before surgery.
What is 3D mammography, or tomosynthesis?
3D mammography, also called tomosynthesis, takes multiple low-dose X-ray images of the breast from different angles and combines them into a layered, three-dimensional picture. This lets radiologists view the breast tissue in thin slices, which can improve cancer detection and reduce the need for women to be called back for extra images, particularly in dense breasts.
