Fig. 2A —59-year-old woman with recently diagnosed contralateral
(left) breast invasive lobular cancer, who had suspicious right breast mass on
MRI examination to assess for other sites of cancer in ipsilateral and
contralateral breasts. Axial localizing image from MRI performed on day of
biopsy. Vitamin E marker (arrow) has been placed on skin overlying
lesion site, based on review of prior diagnostic MRI. Coil (Biopsy Breast
Array Coil, MRI Devices) has breast support that displaces contralateral
breast posteriorly, enabling access to medial or lateral skin surface with
patient prone. Coil is also useful for patients with thin breasts; placing
grids medially and laterally enables grid on far side to function as
"reverse compression paddle," enabling biopsy device to displace
tissue into opening of the grid on far side without piercing skin on far
side.
