These lumps usually cannot be felt, but have been found on a mammogram. This technique combines mammography with computer-assisted biopsy to pinpoint the lump. It is a very reliable way to determine if the lump or calcifications are cancer. Studies show that Image Guided Breast Biopsy is just as accurate as surgical biopsy. You may feel slight pressure, but you should not have any pain.
Most patients have only mild discomfort during the procedure.
Your breast may be sore a day or so but you will be able to resume almost all regular activities right away or within 12-24 hours after biopsy.
