| Article Title: | Innovations in image-guided preoperative breast lesion localization |
| Abstract: | Screening mammography increases detection of non-palpable breast lesions requiring image-guided localization prior to surgery. Accurate preoperative localization is crucial for successful surgical outcomes. Wire-guided localization is currently the most widely used localization method for non-palpable breast lesions; however, this technique has multiple disadvantages including patient discomfort, possible wire transection and migration, suboptimal surgical incision placement due to wire location and limited scheduling flexibility decreasing operating room efficiency. As a result, promising new techniques including radioactive seed localization, non-radioactive radar localization and magnetic seed localization have been developed as alternatives. In this article, we provide an overview of these techniques and discuss their advantages, drawbacks and currently available outcome data. © 2018 The Authors. |
