![]() | Media file 1: Mammogram shows a spiculated mass to be transfixed by the guidewire. |
![]() | Media file 2: Grid technique of localization. |
![]() | Media file 3: Orthogonal (mediolateral) projection confirms the position of the needle to be placed beyond the cluster of microcalcification. |
![]() | Media file 4: Specimen radiograph shows the wire and the localized speculated mass in situ, with a good excision margin. |
![]() | Media file 5: Figure shows a poorly attenuating lesion being transfixed with a hook wire under ultrasonographic guidance. |
![]() | Media file 6: Image shows the specimen radiograph with a stellate lesion containing clustered, pleomorphic microcalcification with wire in situ. Note the use of a stiff outer cannula. |
