Background:The Purpose of this study was to determine the yield of stereotactic core breast biopsy and its cost-saving potential.
Methods:
This observational study was conducted at the Department of Radiology at Aga Khan Hospital in Karachi. All female Patients (n = 84) undergoing stereotactic core breast biopsy under mammographic guidance from January 2005 to May 2010 were included. Stereotactic core biopsy was performed on a dedicated mammography unit employing a 14-gauge needle with an automated biopsy device. Ten Patients with incomplete medical records were excluded. All breast biopsy results were either compared with surgical findings in cases of malignant …

This paper proposes a method to simplify a computational model from logistic regression for clinical use without computer. The model was built using human interpreted features including some BI-RADS standardized features for diagnosing the malignant masses. It was compared with the diagnosis using only assessment categorization from BI-RADS. The research aims at assisting radiologists to diagnose the malignancy of breast cancer in a way without using automated computer aided diagnosis system.
