✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Purpose

To determine the spatial localization errors of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐guided core biopsy for breast lesions using the handheld vacuum‐assisted core biopsy device in phantoms and patients.

Materials and Methods

Biopsies were done using a 10‐gauge handheld vacuum‐assisted core biopsy system (Vacora, Bard, AZ, USA) on a 1.5T MRI scanner (Philips Achieva, Best, The Netherlands). A standardized biopsy localization protocol was followed by trained operators for multiplanar planning of the biopsy on a separate workstation. Biopsy localization errors were determined as the distance from needle tip to center of the target in three dimensions.

Results

Twenty MRI‐guided biopsies of phantoms were performed by three different operators. The biopsy target mean size was 6.8 ± 0.6 mm. The overall mean three‐dimensional (3D) biopsy targeting error was 4.4 ± 2.9 mm. Thirty‐two MRI breast biopsies performed in 22 patients were reviewed. The lesion mean size was 10.5 ± 9.4 mm. The overall mean 3D localization error was 5.7 ± 3.0 mm. No significant differences between phantom and patients biopsy errors were found (P > 0.5).

Conclusion

MRI‐guided handheld vacuum‐assisted core biopsy device shows good targeting accuracy and should allow localization of lesions to within ∼5 to 6 mm. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2009;30:424–429. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI‐RADS) Category 3 represents ‘probably benign’ mammographic abnormalities requiring close follow‐up, but biopsies sometimes are performed on Category 3 abnormalities. Controversy exists as to when these biopsies are justified. T
