About Stereotactic Core Needle Biopsy
1.
2. An accomplished radiologist, Dr. AppaRao
Mukkamala stands out as chair emeritus of the
radiology department at Hurley Medical Center. Dr.
AppaRao Mukkamala has also published a number
of peer-reviewed articles, including a piece on the
use of stereotactic core needle biopsy as an
alternative diagnostic tool for patients with breast
lesions.
Core needle biopsy offers a number of benefits over
the traditional biopsy, the most salient of which is its
noninvasive nature as a nonsurgical procedure. A
physician inserts a fine or hollow needle into a
suspicious mass and removes a portion of tissue,
without the need for cutting.
3. If the mass is palpable, the procedure can take place in a
doctor's office. However, non-palpable masses frequently
require the help of radiological devices to locate the
abnormality.
When a physician chooses to use stereotactic
mammography as an imaging method, the patient lies on
a table with a hole open for the breast. The device
compresses the breast and takes a number of images,
which automatically direct the biopsy needle to the area
in question. In some machines, a vacuum-powered probe
supports the action of the needle. Both vacuum-assisted
and non-vacuum procedures take place using local
anesthesia, so the patient typically only feels the push and
pull sensation that the needle generates.
