RESUMO
We describe the history of, indications for, and techniques involved in MRI-guided needle localization (MRI-NL). MRI-NL continues to be a safe, effective method of sampling lesions that are only detected with MRI, particularly for anatomically challenging lesions such as those near the chest wall, the nipple, the skin, and/or in close proximity to implants.

Image-guided preoperative localization of breast lesions is a common procedure. This article describes several commercially available localization options-wire localization, radioactive seed localization, localization with a radiofrequency reflector, and magnetic seed localization-and outlines the advantages and disadvantages of each. This information may help radiologists initiate conversations at their facilities with surgeons, pathologists, and hospital administration as they seek to add value and provide patient-centered care.
