Three‐dimensional ultrasound‐validated large‐core needle biopsy: is it a reliable method for the histological assessment of breast lesions?

The use of three‐dimensional (3D) ultrasound may help to determine the exact position of the needle during breast biopsy, thereby reducing the number of core samples that are needed to achieve a reliable histological diagnosis. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy of 3D ultrasound‐validated large‐core needle biopsy (LCNB) of the breast.
