The widespread use of breast imaging has resulted in the increased detection of clinically occult suspicious breast lesions. Between 1999 and 2004 the number of breast biopsies in the United States has increased steadily. The armamentarium of methods to biopsy suspicious breast lesions has also increased significantly since the early 1990s with technological advancements for both surgical breast biopsy and percutaneous image guided breast biopsies.
广泛应用乳腺影像学检查导致临床上隐匿性可疑乳腺病变的检出率增加。1999 年至 2004 年期间，美国的乳腺活检数量稳步增长。自 20 世纪 90 年代初以来，由于外科乳腺活检和经皮影像引导乳腺活检技术的进步，可疑乳腺病变活检方法的种类也显著增加。
