Abstract
Needle-localized intraoperative biopsy was first described for the nonpalpable breast mass using mammography for needle placement. This technique can be adapted by substituting CT (or MRI) for mammography. It can be a valuable tool in localizing the nonpalpable areas of concern in the head and neck, especially when the location is obscure or the patient has undergone previous radiation and/or surgical therapy.
