1) Establish criteria for MR-guided breast biopsy patient selection. 2) Cultivate a working understanding of MR-guided biopsy and needle localization instrumentation and implementation. 3) Understand basic MR-guided biopsy and needle localization parameters and requirements for appropriate coil, needle and approach selection. 4) Consider patient management before, during and after MR-guided breast biopsy. 5) Explore benefits and limitations of availability of MR-guided biopsy/needle localization in your practice. 6) Practice the MR-guided biopsy procedure on phantoms with multiple needle and coil combinations.

This course is intended to provide both basic didactic instruction and hands-on experience in the application of MR-guided breast biopsy and needle localization. Because of the established role of breast MRI in the evaluation of breast cancer through screening and staging, thereis a proven need for MR-guided biopsy and needle localization of the abnormalities that can only be identified at MRI. This course will be devoted to the understanding and identification of: 1) appropriate patient selection 2) optimal positioning for biopsy 3) target selection and confirmation 4) various biopsy technologies and techniques 5) potential problems and pitfalls and 6) practice audits. Participants will spend 30 minutes in didactic instruction followed by 60 minutes practicing MR-guided biopsy with phantoms placed in various combinations of full size state-of-the-art breast MRI coils, biopsy localization equipment and needles.
