Radioguided localisation of impalpable breast lesions using 99m-Technetium macroaggregated albumin: Lessons learnt during introduction of a new technique to guide preoperative localisation
INTRODUCTION Preoperative wire-guided localisation (WGL) of impalpable breast lesions is widely used but can be technically difficult. Risks include wire migration, inaccurate placement, and inadequate surgical margins. Research shows that radioguided occult lesion localisation (ROLL) is quicker, easier, and can improve surgical and cosmetic outcomes. An audited introduction of ROLL was conduct...
متن کاملPreoperative Localisation of Impalpable Breast Lesions
It is now well established that mammography is a sensitive technique for the detection of impalpable breast lesions and it is the only screening method commonly accepted to be of any real value. In the aftermath of the Forrest report (1) a limited mammography screening programme has been established in the UK. This will mean that many more women, of whom a majority will be asymptomatic, will pr...
متن کاملPrebiopsy localisation of impalpable breast lesions.
Prebiopsy localization of impalpable breast lesions (IBL) assures removal of suspicious mammographically detected lesions. Specimen radiograph of the excised specimen is mandatory to confirm complete excision. The aim of this study was to audit our series of percutaneous hookwire localization and to determine the positive biopsy rate of the mammographically detected impalpable breast lesion in ...
متن کاملRolling out radioguided occult lesion localisation for breast tumours
There is a disconnection between the high-resolution displays in the medical imaging department and what the clinician can detect at the bedside. One example is the flood of impalpable tumours which can account for more than half of those detected by breast cancer screening programs: how to guide the surgeon to where the lesion is? One solution is the subject of the article by Landman et al. in...
متن کاملVentricular arrhythmias. A guide to their localisation.
An electrocardiographic atlas of ventricular tachycardias was produced by pacing 27 epicardial sections of the heart and the mitral papillary muscles to simulate focal ventricular arrhythmias and simultaneously recording their 12 lead electrocardiographic appearances. One hundred and twenty nine patients undergoing cardiac surgery were studied. In five patients all 27 epicardial sites were pace...
