Abstract
Ultrasound (US) provides a versatile approach for guiding biopsies and other breast interventions. The wide availability, real-time capability, technical improvements, and increasing user experience have greatly expanded the role of US-guided interventions in the diagnosis and management of breast disease. This article reviews the accuracy of US-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy, automated core biopsy, and vacuum-assisted biopsy. Some of the more specialized procedures that reflect the growing role of US-guided interventions in patient management will also be discussed.
