          TERMINOLOGY

          • Definitions

            • Percutaneous MR-guided biopsy of suspicious breast MR finding using vacuum-assisted devices
              • Biopsy itself typically performed outside magnet (unless open bore)
              • MR used to identify lesion and confirm plastic cannula tip at edge of lesion
            • May be performed either with grid or free-hand
            • Obturator: MR-compatible plastic stylet, often impregnated with Gd, used to confirm proper placement of coaxial cannula at target
            • Trocar: Metallic stylet to aid insertion of plastic cannula
            • Fiducial: T1-hyperintense marker on skin surface (vitamin E or fish oil capsule, Gd-impregnated marker)
            • Grid: Fenestrated compression paddle
            • Template: Paper, clear sheet of film, or software to record location of lesion with respect to fiducial
              • Facilitates translation of images as viewed on scanner to prone position of patient
