Abstract

This chapter describes in detail the technique of ultrasound (US)-guided fine-needle aspiration from the placement of the fine needle in the target to the rendering of a cytopathological diagnosis. The technique of fine-needle aspiration biopsy of solid masses is detailed, focusing on the critical step of manual aspiration. Tips and tricks are offered for the preparation of the slides, to ensure delivery of the best material possible to the cytopathologist. The importance of teamwork between the breast imager and the cytopathologist is emphasized.
