Breast intervention procedures are minimally invasive techniques used to diagnose or treat breast abnormalities detected during imaging. Our center offers advanced image-guided procedures that ensure accuracy, safety, and patient comfort. These interventions help avoid unnecessary surgery, provide timely diagnoses, and support individualized treatment planning.
Vacuum Assisted Biopsy
A minimally invasive technique to sample or completely remove benign breast lumps such as fibroadenomas.
Core Biopsy
Uses a hollow needle to remove small breast tissue samples for accurate diagnosis.
Breast Wire Localization
A thin wire is placed under imaging guidance to help surgeons precisely remove small, hard-to-find breast abnormalities.
Clip Marker Placement
A tiny marker is placed at the biopsy site to guide future imaging or surgery.
Thyroid FNAC
A fine needle aspiration test that collects thyroid cells for evaluation under a microscope.
Stereotactic Biopsy Core and VABB Biopsy
Mammography-guided biopsy techniques to accurately sample suspicious breast areas, especially microcalcifications.
Tomoguided Biopsy
A biopsy guided by 3D mammography (tomosynthesis) to target subtle or hidden breast lesions.
CEDM Biopsy
A biopsy performed under Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammography guidance to sample enhancing breast abnormalities.
Vacuum Assisted Biopsy & Fibroadenoma Removal
A Vacuum Assisted Biopsy (VAB) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses gentle suction to remove breast tissue samples for diagnosis. It is also effective for removing benign breast lumps such as fibroadenomas without the need for open surgery.
- Removes suspicious tissue or benign lumps without surgery
- Quick recovery, minimal scarring, often no stitches needed
- Performed under local anaesthesia
Core Biopsy
A Core Needle Biopsy is used to obtain small samples from a breast lump or abnormal area for accurate diagnosis.
- Precise tissue sampling for diagnosis
- Simple outpatient procedure
- Minimal discomfort, fast results
Breast Wire Localization
When a breast lesion is not easily felt but visible on imaging, Breast Wire Localization guides the surgeon precisely to the target area during surgery.
- Guides surgeons to non-palpable breast lesions
- Preserves healthy tissue
- Improves surgical accuracy
Clip Marker Placement
During certain biopsies, a tiny clip marker may be placed to mark the exact location for future reference.
- Marks biopsy sites for follow-up imaging or surgery
- Painless and quick
- Essential for ongoing monitoring
- Marks biopsy sites for follow-up imaging or surgery
Thyroid FNAC
Thyroid FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) is a simple, safe, and quick diagnostic test used to evaluate lumps or nodules in the thyroid gland. In this procedure, a very thin needle is inserted into the thyroid nodule to collect a small sample of cells, which is then examined under a microscope.
- Purpose: To find out whether a thyroid lump is benign (non-cancerous) or requires further treatment.
- Procedure Time: Usually takes 10–15 minutes.
- Anaesthesia: Local anaesthesia may be used for comfort.
- Recovery: No downtime — you can resume normal activities immediately.
- Benefits: Minimally invasive, highly accurate, and virtually painless.
At Veritas, Thyroid FNAC is performed under ultrasound guidance for precision and safety. This ensures the sample is taken from the exact area of concern, giving more reliable results.

FAQs
Are breast intervention procedures painful?
A: Most procedures are performed under local anaesthesia, so you will feel little to no pain during the process. Some mild soreness may be experienced afterward, but it usually settles within a day or two.
How long does a Vacuum Assisted Biopsy or Core Biopsy take?
A: These procedures typically take 30–45 minutes, including preparation time. You can usually return home the same day.
Will there be a scar after the procedure?
A: Since we use minimally invasive techniques, any scar is very small and usually fades over time. In many cases, no stitches are required.
When will I get my biopsy results?
A: Biopsy results are usually available within 2–5 working days. Our team will review them with you in detail and discuss the next steps if required.
Why is a Clip Marker placed in my breast?
A: A clip marker is used to mark the exact spot where the biopsy was taken. It is safe, invisible from the outside, and does not interfere with your daily life or medical scans.
Can I resume my normal activities after the procedure?
A: Yes, most patients can return to their usual activities the next day, though we recommend avoiding heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours.
Are these procedures safe?
A: Yes, breast intervention procedures at Veritas are highly safe. Complications are rare, and our team follows strict protocols to ensure your comfort and safety.
