Abstract

Breast microcalcifications are considered an early mammographic sign of breast cancer which are present with tiny bright spots of different morphology.In an ultrasound (US) image, the presence of microcalcifications within breast is an important indicator of malignancy.With an improved sonographic detection of microcalcification, ultrasound could be used for biopsy guidance for target sampling of tissue containing suspicious microcalcifications. If the biopsied lesions had a suspicious microcalcifications, specimen radiograph is mandatory to confirm the presence of microcalcifications in which a core containing any calcification on specimen radiography was defined as a successfully retrieved core. 14 - G semi-automated core needle biopsy device is less costly than other biopsy device
