Mammographically/stereotactically guided vacuum/excisional biopsy - interventional methods in mamma diagnosis

As well as in the complementary mamma diagnosis (clinical examination, mamm ography, sonography) including the dynamic MRI and the mammography screenin g projects the interventional methods like mammographically, stereotactical ly guided vacuum-biopsy/excisional biopsy are established methods to avoid unnecessary open operations and they are integrated in the clinical routine . By using strict criterias it is a way to improve the specificity and the negative predictive value in the mamma diagnosis. In addition the intervent ional methods requires less costs, less time and reduces the morbidity in c omparison to an open operation.
