Microcalcifications show up on mammograms as tiny, salt-like white specks. They are not of particular concern unless they display certain patterns throughout the breast, in which case they may indicate a precancerous condition or even an early stage of breast cancer. In such a case, a doctor may call for a needle biopsy or stereotactic biopsy, and if those results indicate the presence of a low-grade tumor, a surgical biopsy may follow.
Based on this passage, when would a doctor call for a needle biopsy?
(A) When microcalcifications first occur
(B) When microcalcifications display certain patterns
(C) When microcalcifications form a low-grade tumor
(D) When a stereotactic biopsy indicates microcalcifications
(E) Whenever white specks appear on mammograms
