Although stereotactic frame-based biopsies deliver a limited amount of tissue, they bear high histopathological and molecular genetic diagnostic yields. Given the proven surgical precision of the planned biopsy trajectories, optimizing surveyed lesion regions could help improve the rate of conclusive diagnoses.
