Stereotactic Core Needle Breast Biopsy

This video describes stereotactic core needle breast biopsy. The presentation discusses the fact that stereotactic core needle breast biopsy is an outpatient procedure, relatively painless, and with few side effects. It demonstrates the technique on a real patient, explaining that the procedure is done by taking two separate X-rays of the breast to locate the lump, and then, with a local anaesthetic, using a needle to obtain a tissue sample. It seeks to present the information in a reassuring manner for patients.
