How to fill out ultrasound-guided core breast biopsy

How to fill out ultrasound-guided core breast biopsy:

1. Prepare the patient: Ensure that the patient is properly informed about the procedure and obtain their consent. Position the patient comfortably on the exam table, with the breast being biopsied exposed and properly positioned for the procedure.
2. Sterilize the biopsy site: Use an antiseptic solution to clean and sterilize the skin over the area where the biopsy will be performed. This helps reduce the risk of infection.
3. Local anesthesia: Administer local anesthesia to numb the area around the biopsy site. This helps minimize discomfort during the procedure.
4. Ultrasound-guidance: Use an ultrasound machine to locate and visualize the suspicious area in the breast. This will help guide the biopsy needle accurately to the target site.
5. Prepare the biopsy needle: Ensure that the biopsy needle is properly sterilized and ready for use. The type and size of the needle may vary depending on the specific clinical situation and the biopsy technique being employed.
6. Insert the biopsy needle: Under real-time ultrasound guidance, insert the biopsy needle into the breast tissue, targeting the suspicious area. The needle should be advanced smoothly and slowly to avoid any damage to surrounding structures.
7. Core tissue sampling: Once the biopsy needle is properly positioned, perform the core tissue sampling. This involves advancing the needle to the desired depth and then applying a specific technique (such as a spring-loaded device or vacuum-assisted device) to obtain a small sample of tissue from the suspicious area.
8. Repeat if necessary: If required, repeat the core tissue sampling process multiple times to obtain an adequate sample for accurate diagnosis. The number of samples needed may vary depending on the nature of the lesion and the pathologist's requirements.
9. Post-biopsy care: Apply pressure and a sterile dressing to the biopsy site to control bleeding. Provide post-procedure instructions to the patient, including information about potential post-biopsy discomfort, the need for follow-up appointments, and any specific restrictions or precautions.

Who needs ultrasound-guided core breast biopsy:

1. Individuals with abnormal mammogram findings: Ultrasound-guided core breast biopsy may be recommended for individuals who have suspicious or abnormal findings on a mammogram, such as a mass, microcalcifications, or architectural distortion.
2. Patients with palpable breast lumps: When there is a palpable lump in the breast, an ultrasound-guided core biopsy can help determine its nature and whether further treatment is necessary.
3. Evaluation of breast abnormalities detected on ultrasound: For individuals who have undergone breast ultrasound and have identified abnormalities, an ultrasound-guided core biopsy may be performed to obtain tissue samples for diagnosis.
4. Monitoring of known breast lesions: If a previous imaging study has identified a suspicious breast lesion that requires monitoring, periodic ultrasound-guided core biopsies may be recommended to assess any changes in the lesion over time.
5. Assessment of breast lesions in high-risk individuals: Individuals with certain risk factors for breast cancer, such as a family history of the disease or genetic mutations, may undergo regular ultrasound screening. If abnormalities are found on the ultrasound, an ultrasound-guided core biopsy may be performed for further evaluation.
