✦ Synopsis

BACKGROUND.

Although stereotaxic fine-needle aspiration biopsy or core biopsy (14-gauge) have proven to be accurate techniques for the evaluation of mammographically detected microcalcification, the development of the Mammotome Biopsy System (Biopsys Medical, Inc., Irvine, CA) has led many medical centers to use this vacuum-assisted device for the sampling of microcalcification.
