You are not describing any medical procedure that I've heard of.  Usually, cluster is a word for describing calcifications, and the usual way of biopsy for calcifications is called a 'stereotactic core biopsy'.  By the way, NYU is one of the best breast care centers in the world, possibly the best.  Good for you!
