  • Title: US-guided core biopsy of the breast with a coaxial system.
    Author: Kaplan SS, Racenstein MJ, Wong WS, Hansen GC, McCombs MM, Bassett LW.
    Journal: Radiology; 1995 Feb; 194(2):573-5. PubMed ID: 7824740.
    Abstract:
    From July 1993 through June 1994, the authors performed 42 ultrasound (US)-guided core biopsies with use of a coaxial technique in which a 14- or 15-gauge core biopsy needle was passed through a 12-gauge introducer needle. This technique proved to be effective in all 42 biopsies. Use of the coaxial technique decreased the procedure time necessary for US-guided core biopsy and may be less traumatic than the standard core biopsy technique.
