Abstract

Objectives

To analyse the development of MRI-guided vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) in Switzerland and to compare the procedure with stereotactically guided and ultrasound-guided VAB.

Methods

We performed a retrospective analysis of VABs between 2009 and 2011. A total of 9,113 VABs were performed. Of these, 557 were MRI guided.

Results

MRI-guided VAB showed the highest growth rate (97 %) of all three procedures. The technical success rates for MRI-guided, stereotactically guided and ultrasound-guided VAB were 98.4 % (548/557), 99.1 % (5,904/5,960) and 99.6 % (2,585/2,596), respectively. There were no significant differences (P = 0.12) between the MRI-guided and the stereotactically guided procedures. The technical success rate for ultrasound-guided VAB was significantly higher than that for MRI-guided VAB (P < 0.001). There were no complications using MRI-guided VAB requiring open surgery. The malignancy diagnosis rate for MRI-guided VAB was similar to that for stereotactically guided VAB (P = 0.35).

Conclusion

MRI-guided VAB is a safe and accurate procedure that provides insight into clinical breast findings.

Key points

• Three vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VAB) procedures were compared.

• Technical success rates were high for all three VAB procedures.

• Medical complications were relatively low using all three VAB procedures.

• The use of MRI-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy is growing.
