SBI Symposium Collection Breast Imaging Procedures Advances & Updates

There have been several recent advancements in imaging-guided breast procedures, including the use of cryoablation in the treatment of breast diseases and the development of novel non-wire localization devices. Many radiologists performing imaging-guided breast procedures may not be familiar with these emerging techniques and devices. In addition, challenging breast biopsy and concordance scenarios are commonly encountered in practice. Therefore, there is an educational need to review the indications and application of emerging advanced breast imaging procedures and devices in addition to techniques on navigating challenging breast biopsy and concordance scenarios. This collection features presentations from the 2023 SBI Symposium.
