The purpose of this article is to compare the accuracy of MRgFUS with MR-guided needle-wire placement (MRgNW) for the preoperative localization of nonpalpable breast lesions.

The results of this experimental ex vivo study indicate that MRgFUS can potentially be used to localize nonpalpable breast lesions in vivo.
