Role of stereotactic core needle biopsy of non mass-calcification which are suspicious and highly suggestive of malignancy (birads iii, iv &v) on mammogram

Purpose: Role of stereotactic core needle biopsy of non mass calcification which are suspicious and highly suggestive of malignancy (BIRADS III, IV &V) on mammogram.
Material and method: In our study twelve patients with calcification on mammogram underwent for stereotactic biopsy at radiodiagnosis department in a tertiary care hospital of Rajasthan. Informed written consent was taken from each patient under the study. Stereotactic core needle biopsy (by core biopsy instrument used along with biopsy needle of 14 G size) of the breast was done using a digital breast tomosynthesis mammography machine named Fuzi Film Amulet System.
Result: Correlation between BIRADS and histo-pathologic finding shows among BIRADS IV and V 100% patients were belongs to malignant group and among BIRADS III 00.00 % were malignant and 100% were benign.
Conclusion: Mammography has great importance because of its ability to detect calcifications which is often the earliest sign of malignancy and with stereotactic core needle biopsy it is possible to reduce rate of open surgical biopsy.
