Sonographic confirmation of a mammographically detected breast lesion

The purpose of this article is to describe a method for efficiently and effectively confirming mammographic-sonographic concordance before biopsy.

With the increase in mammographic detection of smaller nonpalpable lesions, it is sometimes challenging to confirm that the lesion identified with subsequent sonography for additional lesion characterization is the same lesion. When additional confirmation is necessary, instillation of radiopaque contrast material under sonographic guidance followed by repeat mammography examination can help confirm lesion correlation.
