Abstract

Needle core biopsy and fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) provide histologic diagnoses in a wide variety of clinical settings. In breast disease, surgeons have used these techniques to evaluate palpable masses for many years. In recent years, radiologists have used image-guided adaptations of these two techniques to evaluate mammographically detected lesions.
