When mammography reveals microcalcifications or suspicious breast lesions that are not visible on ultrasound, a stereotactic vacuum assisted breast biopsy is the most accurate and least invasive way to reach a definitive tissue diagnosis. Picture This in Mumbai performs this mammography-guided breast biopsy using the ENCORE ENSPIRE system, which uses stereotactic targeting to precisely locate and sample the area of concern within the breast. The procedure is conducted under local anaesthesia by specialist radiologists Dr. Saba Shaikh and Dr. Bijal Jankharia, with no surgical incision, no stitches, and just a small pinhole mark. Multiple breast tissue samples are collected in a single session of approximately 2 to 3 hours on a day-care basis. Histopathology results are available within 5 to 7 working days. Pre-procedure blood tests including BT, CT, PT, and INR are required. Patients on blood thinners must stop medication 3 days prior. Picture This schedules appointments promptly after physician review.
