Abstract
We report the case of an invasive tubular breast carcinoma detected so lely by MR imaging, and subsequently localized for excision biopsy wit h an MR-compatible, spring-hook wire positioning marker using a protot ype MR-guided stereotactic localization system. This report emphasises the potential of interventional MR imaging in the management of breas t cancer.
