PurposeTo assess the utility and pathological results from DBT VAB for lesions occult on 2D mammography and breast ultrasound (US).Materials and methodsA retrospective review of 1116 consecutive stereotactic biopsies was performed over 27months. DBT VAB was performed for 38 non-calcified lesions which were solely detected using DBT. Imaging findings and pathology results were reviewed.ResultsPathologic findings were malignant in 8 of 38 lesions [masses (5) and distortion (3)]. High-risk findings found in 14 lesions.ConclusionDBT VAB is easily performed and the majority of cases yield actionable pathologies. Therefore, perform DBT VAB primarily when available.
