Targeted ultrasound best for biopsy after incidental breast MRI findings
By Kate Madden Yee
Wednesday, December 1 | 3:10 p.m.-3:20 p.m. | SSM02-02 | Room E450ABreast MRI can find additional lesions when used as an adjunct to mammography and ultrasound, but it's also associated with a higher false-positive rate, according to Italian researchers. Using targeted ultrasound with these incidental MRI lesions offers a way to reduce false positives.
