View larger version (110K): [in a new window]   Fig. 4C. —54-year-old woman with new solid mass in inferior right breast. Stereotactic biopsy was performed from inferior approach. Close-up of craniocaudal mammogram after biopsy shows that mass was removed and that positioning of marking device in x- and y-axes is accurate.
