MRI-guided biopsy

A procedure that uses an MRI scan to find an abnormal area in the breast or prostate to guide the removal of a tissue sample from that area with a needle. The tissue sample is then checked under a microscope for signs of disease, such as cancer. An MRI-guided biopsy may be done when a lump or mass cannot be felt or when the abnormal area cannot be seen on other imaging tests.
