Abstract

In Korea, the number of institutions providing breast MRI, as well as the number of breast MRIs, has recently increased. However, MRI-guided procedures, including biopsy and needle localization, are rarely performed compared to ultrasound-guided or stereotactic biopsy. As breast MRI has high sensitivity but limited specificity, lesions detected only on MRI require pathologic confirmation through MRIguided biopsy or surgical excision with MRI-guided needle localization. Thus, we aimed to review MRIguided procedures, including their indications, techniques, procedural considerations, and limitations.
