The prone table machine offers an efficient and useful method for stereotactic-guided breast biopsies, demonstrating high patient acceptance and a low complication rate for diagnosing breast abnormalities.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Breast Imaging

Background:

  • Stereotactic-guided biopsy is crucial for diagnosing breast abnormalities.
  • The prone table machine is a specialized mammographic X-ray system designed for this purpose.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical usefulness of the prone table machine for stereotactic-guided breast biopsies.
  • Assessing procedure duration, success rate, complications, and patient acceptance.

Main Methods:

  • A 5-month study involving 79 patients undergoing stereotactic-guided biopsy on the prone table.
  • Procedures included fine needle aspirations, large-core needle biopsies, and vacuum-assisted biopsies.
  • Biopsies were primarily performed for clustered microcalcifications and mammographically indeterminate lesions.

Main Results:

  • Eighty-one lesions were assessed with a mean procedure duration of 49 minutes.
  • High patient acceptance was observed.
  • A low complication rate, with only one case of persistent hemorrhage, was reported.

Conclusions:

  • The prone table machine is a useful and efficient tool for stereotactic-guided breast biopsies.
  • The procedure is well-accepted by patients.
  • The system facilitates accurate diagnosis of breast abnormalities.
