Overall, the wonderful thing is that
0:03
CEM-guided core biopsy is now available.
0:06
You can get it.
0:07
It's amazing.
0:09
Um, I'll show you an example of how that's used.
0:11
I know we're running out of time.
0:13
So this was a patient who had a recombined
0:15
only finding. Um, let me show you this.
0:20
So this was a patient who had architectural distortion
0:22
in the left breast, marked by that yellow arrow.
0:24
And we did a biopsy, a tomosynthesis-guided biopsy.
0:28
And you'll see that our clip is actually not where the
0:31
tomosynthesis— where the architectural distortion was.
0:34
So we weren't sure what to do about this.
0:36
Did we sample appropriately
0:37
the distortion and the clip moved, or were we just off?
0:41
And this can happen with tomosynthesis-guided biopsy.
0:43
I imagine everybody on the call
0:46
or at least many people on the call have had this issue.
0:48
So we did a contrast mammo to get more information,
0:52
and we found that there was no enhancement in
0:54
the area of distortion, which is great, but
0:58
there was enhancement in the right breast.
0:59
The enhancement here marked by the
1:01
pink color was fibroadenoma, known fibroadenoma,
1:04
but you'll see that there was actually an incidental
1:06
enhancement in the, um, outer central right breast.
1:09
And this was...
1:10
This was a malignancy.
1:12
So— but what we're, you know, what
1:13
are we gonna do with this thing?
1:14
We sent her to ultrasound, we couldn't find it.
1:16
There was no associated correlate on the low-energy
1:18
exam, so we had to send this patient to MRI.
1:21
Um, but now with contrast-enhanced
1:23
mammo biopsy, we'll be able to do that.
