Breast stereotaxis

What is stereotaxy?
Stereotaxy is an advanced diagnostic method that uses 3D technology to precisely locate and collect tissue samples from the breast. This method allows radiologists, with the help of mammographic images, to precisely identify and target abnormalities in the breast that are not palpable during a standard examination. Stereotaxy is most commonly used when it is necessary to take a biopsy from suspicious areas of the breast that are not visible or palpable.

How is stereotaxy performed?
During stereotaxy, the patient lies on her back, and the breast is placed in a specialized device that uses mammographic images to precisely locate abnormalities. Once the area is accurately identified, a tissue sample is taken with a thin needle. The procedure is painless and lasts about 30–45 minutes. In most cases, the patient can return to everyday activities immediately after the examination.

Why is stereotaxy important?
Stereotaxy enables very precise and minimally invasive sampling of tissue from specific areas of the breast, allowing for an accurate diagnosis and differentiation between benign and malignant lesions. This method is very useful when other diagnostic methods, such as ultrasound or mammography, cannot provide enough information to establish an accurate diagnosis. An accurate tissue sample obtained by stereotaxy is crucial for further treatment planning and monitoring.

When is stereotaxy used?
Stereotaxy is usually used when abnormalities in the breast are suspected that are not visible or palpable. This includes small changes that are not large enough for palpation but are visible on mammograms. Stereotaxy is also used to collect tissue samples in situations where other diagnostic methods are not sufficient to confirm or rule out breast cancer.

How to prepare for stereotaxy?
Preparation for stereotaxy is usually not demanding. It is recommended that the patient does not wear deodorant, powder, or cream on the breast area on the day of the examination, as these products may interfere with the quality of the images. It is also important to inform the doctor about all medications being taken, especially if taking medications that affect blood clotting.
