An intraoperative MRI system for margin assessment in breast conserving surgery: Initial results from a novel technique

Abstract

This study demonstrates that the system is sensitive and specific in differentiating malignant and non-malignant tissues in freshly excised breast specimen. The system has the potential to be used for breast specimen margin assessment during BCS, with the goal of decreasing the need for re-operation. J. Surg.
