The majority of radiology residents have suboptimal exposure to the procedural aspects of breast imaging. By gaining basic technical skills, residents will feel more comfortable with breast intervention and will project confidence to patients, both critical components of successful procedures. The aim of our exhibit is for residents to: 1. Gain familiarity with the commonly used techniques and biopsy devices for interventional breast procedures. 2. Learn a reproducible, step-by-step approach to planning and performing common procedures in breast imaging.

1. Images of commonly used biopsy devices and localizing wires with labeled diagrams 2. Flow chart outlining which imaging modality to choose for biopsy 3. Step-by-step approach of common breast procedures with pictorials: a. US-guided fine needle aspiration b. US-guided core biopsy of solid indeterminate masses c. Stereotactic biopsy of calcifications, architectural distortion or masses d. 3D digital breast tomosynthesis guided biopsy for architectural distortion seen only on tomosynthesis e. MRI-guided biopsy f. Pre-operative wire localization g. Overview of image-guided radioactive seed localization 4. Pearls and pitfalls: tips on how to plan and perform a successful biopsy 5. Sample cases with question and answer (“what to do next”) scenarios
