Mammography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the most commonly used modalities for interventional radiology procedures involving the breast. Computed tomography (CT) is rarely used for breast imaging yet it is able to detect breast lesions and can often provide safe and effective access to breast lesions. The aim of this study was to demonstrate situations in which CT should be considered as an alternative guidance method for the biopsy of breast lesions that are not accessible with conventional imaging modalities.
