OBJECTIVE This prospective study was undertaken to determine the feasibility of MR-guided vacuum assisted breast biopsy with the Vacora-vacuum-biopsy system for histological evaluation of suspicious lesions in MR-mammography. METHODS During 3 months MR-guided vacuum assisted breast biopsy was indicated in 12 patients with suspicious lesions in MR-mammography. RESULTS MR-guided vacuum assisted breast biopsy with the Vacora-vacuum-biopsy system could be performed in 9 of 12 patients. In 2 patients the lesions could not be identified at the time of the intervention. In one patient the intervention could not be performed due to obesity. Histopathology revealed benign lesions in 8 patients and malignancy in one patient. In one of the cases with benign histology, the biopsy specimen was not representative for the lesion. CONCLUSIONS MR-guided vacuum assisted breast biopsy with Vacora-vacuum-biopsy is technical feasible can be performed with a low complication rate.
