Many factors contribute to MR-guided breast biopsy
procedure success or failure. Significantly, there is no
immediate verification of specimen retrieval and no
quantitative measures to indicate adequate removal of
the enhancing lesion. This work demonstrates a tool
enabling quantitative assessment of success of MR-guided
breast biopsy. Results from 4 patients indicated that
the ratio between volumes of the suspicious lesion and
total tissue removed in a biopsy procedure averaged 52%,
ranging from 4% to 99%. The availability of real time
quantitative assessment of lesion removal, prior to
procedure completion, should enable improved
verification of lesion sampling.
