Abstract:
A simple method is described to indicate the abnormal area in breast biopsy specimens excised following mammographic localization of impalpable lesions. A hypodermic needle is inserted into the specimen through the abnormality immediately following specimen radiography, removing the need to radiograph individual tissue slices. The technique has proved successful in 121 out of 122 specimens.
