Excerpt

In this issue of Annals of Surgical Oncology, an alternative method of surgical localization for nonpalpable breast lesions is described.1 The technique uses a small implantable device placed through a needle via ultrasound or stereotactic guidance, similar to current radiologic localization techniques. Once implanted, the device is activated by infrared light from the handpiece, and an electromagnetic wave is reflected back to the console. Similar to radioactive seed-localized (RSL) breast surgery, a handpiece and console are utilized with continuous audible feedback. …
