Breast Biopsy
A breast biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure using imaging guidance to gather tissue samples from a breast abnormality, which will then be sent to a pathology laboratory. Once the results are provided by the lab, which may take a few days, a final report with your results will be sent to your referring provider who will then explain the results to you and answer any follow-up questions you may have. We work closely with your provider to help facilitate/expedite any further care that may be needed.
