Abstract
Breast cancer is an increasing challenge in developed and limited resource areas of the world. Early detection of breast cancer offers the best chance for optimal care and best outcomes. A critical step in early detection is to obtain efficient and accurate tissue diagnoses. Although image-guided core needle breast biopsies are usually straightforward for experienced breast imagers, there are some not uncommon scenarios that present particular challenges. In this review article we will discuss these difficult situations and offer our tried and true methods to ensure safe and successful biopsies, while using stereotactic, ultrasound, and MRI guidance.
