| needle localization | term type: main entry term part of speech: noun number: singular reliability code: 10 definition: technique used to locate a small, suspicious area on the breast detected by mammography so that a biopsy can be performed. The radiologist uses the mammogram to find the area and marks the skin directly above it with a pen. A thin, hollow needle with a wire, about a size of a strand of hair, is then inserted into the breast at that spot. The wire enables the surgeon performing the biopsy to find the area, which cannot be seen with the naked eye. The surgeon removes the suspicious area as well as the wire.

El radiólogo utiliza el mamograma para poder encontrar el lugar exacto y señalarlo en la piel. En este punto se introduce una aguja muy fina y hueca con un alambre del tamaño de un pelo en la mama. Mediante el alambre el médico encuentra el área sospechosa que no se puede ver a simple vista para extraer el tejido al mismo tiempo que el alambre.
