The Saint Vincent Women's Center: Minimally Invasive Breast Biopsy

It’s fast, it requires no general anesthesia and it’s less stressful for patients. That’s why Saint Vincent radiologists offer minimally invasive breast biopsy in the comfortable surroundings of the Saint Vincent Women’s Center.

With no more than a skin nick, Saint Vincent radiologists are able to biopsy breast abnormalities with a high level of accuracy using this minimally invasive approach. Only local anesthesia is used for the patient’s comfort and convenience. There is also a low potential for complications associated with minimally invasive breast biopsy, and the cost is significantly less than the traditional open surgical procedure.
