Abstract
Inferior lesions in the breast can be difficult to localize pre-operatively using the hook wire technique as the equipment does not readily allow an approach from below. Distorting the breast by rolling it against the cassette holder displaces an inferior lesion into a lateral position. The lesion can then be easily localized by the shortest needle path.Keywords
