MRI guided breast biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to guide the insertion of a needle into a suspicious area of the breast. The tissue sample is then removed and sent to a pathologist for examination under a microscope.
When is MRI guided breast biopsy done?
MRI guided breast biopsy is often used to diagnose breast cancer in women with dense breasts. Dense breasts are difficult to image with mammography, so MRI can be used to better visualize suspicious areas. MRI guided breast biopsy can also be used to biopsy areas that are difficult to reach with other types of biopsy, such as areas behind the nipple.
How is MRI guided breast biopsy done?
The patient will lie on a table in the MRI scanner. The breast will be positioned in the opening of the scanner and held in place with a compression device. The radiologist will use the MRI images to guide the insertion of a needle into the suspicious area. The tissue sample will then be removed.
What are the risks of MRI guided breast biopsy?
The risks of MRI guided breast biopsy are generally low. Some possible risks include:
Recovery from MRI guided breast biopsy
The recovery time for MRI guided breast biopsy is usually short. The patient may experience some pain, bruising, or tenderness at the biopsy site for a few days. They can resume their normal activities, such as driving and working, as soon as they feel comfortable.
Results of MRI guided breast biopsy
The results of MRI guided breast biopsy will usually be available within a few days. The doctor will discuss the results with the patient and explain what they mean.
Conclusion
MRI guided breast biopsy is a safe and effective procedure that can be used to diagnose breast cancer in women with dense breasts. It is a minimally invasive procedure with low risks and a short recovery time.

An MRI-guided breast biopsy is a medical procedure used to remove a small tissue sample from the breast for examination under a microscope. The procedure is guided by MRI imaging to target the area of concern and ensure accurate sampling
During an MRI-guided breast biopsy, the patient lies face down on a table that slides into an MRI machine. The radiologist uses MRI imaging to locate the area of concern and then inserts a needle into the breast to remove a tissue sample.
Recovery from an MRI-guided breast biopsy is usually quick, and most women are able to resume their normal activities within a day or two. The biopsy site may be sore for a few days, and the patient may need to avoid strenuous activity for a short period of time.
The tissue sample will be sent to a laboratory for analysis, and the results of the biopsy will typically be available within a few days to a week. The radiologist or referring physician will discuss the results of the biopsy with the patient and determine the appropriate course of treatment if necessary.
