How to Prepare for Your Ultrasound-Guided Breast Biopsy

Based on the results of your last breast ultrasound or mammogram, your physician has recommended a breast biopsy in order to obtain further information. A biopsy is a procedure in which a small sample of tissue is taken for further examination by the laboratory. There are different types of biopsies; this type is an ultrasound-guided biopsy.

During this procedure, small samples of tissue are removed from the breast using a hollow needle. The needle is precisely guided to the correct location using ultrasound.

Prior to Procedure

Do:

• Eat a light meal
• Use only products containing acetaminophen (such as Tylenol)
• Wear a loose-fitting, two-piece outfit (i.e. sweat suit or slacks and a blouse)
• Bring or wear a comfortable bra
•  

Do Not:

• Take aspirin, ibuprofen (such as Advil) or blood thinners for at least 3 to 7 days prior to the test
  • Consult your physician’s office for more complete instructions if you are currently taking these medications
• Wear earrings or necklaces
• Use deodorant, talcum power or bath oil on the day of the biopsy
