TEACHING POINTS

The purpose of this educational exhibit is to describe the principles of and useful tips for identifing and correlating lesions initially detected with breast MRI when performing real-time virtual sonography (RVS)-guided vaccume-assisted breast biopsy. We disucuss and illustrate RVS-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy techniques, indications for the procedure, technical considerations, and associated complications.
