The purpose of this exhibit is to: -Discuss method of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis-guided (DBT-guided) wire localization -Demonstrate the utility of DBT-guided wire localizations in mammographically and sonographically occult lesions.

1. Review of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis. 2. Description of method used in DBT-guided wire localization. 3. Clinical utility and Indications for Tomosynthesis-guided wire localizations. 4. Discuss two cases of DBT-guided wire localizations performed at our institute with radiologic pathologic correlation. 5. Future directions and summary: With increasing use of 3D imaging, previously occult lesions will be more frequently detected. In such occult suspicious lesions, DBT-guided wire localization could be used to guide surgical excision.
