The interventional radiologist marks the problematic area in the breast with a very thin wire, accompanied by a mammography or ultrasound device. The wire marking procedure is similar to needle biopsies, but there is no significant difference. However, in this method, a biopsy is not taken from the breast, instead, a wire similar to biopsy needles is placed in the problematic area inside the breast. This marking is a guide to the surgeon. The wire guides the surgeon about which area of the breast to be biopsied and which area is diseased. After marking, the patient is directed to the physician, where the area marked with the wire is surgically removed.
