ABSTRACT:
X-ray techniques are used to detect early evidence of breast cancer. When such evidence is found, a target is implanted in the suspect area while the patient is being x-rayed. The target has an attached line which leads from the target out through the skin of the patient. A biopsy is made with a cutting tool guided on the line attached to the target, thereby obtaining a biopsy specimen accurately centered on the suspect area.
