The most common way to confirm dignity of non-palpable and sonographically-occult suspicious findings on mammography is the stereotactically-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy
Purpose: To compare two stereotactically guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy systems measuring time effectiveness and quality of harvested material in clinical practice.
Material And Methods: One hundred and forty-six patients presenting with suspicious microcalcifications on mammography were included in the study.
