Hospital System Adoption of Magnetic Seeds for Wireless Breast and Lymph Node Localization

ConclusionsThe magnetic seed technique is safe, effective, and accurate for localization of breast lesions and lymph nodes, and importantly uncouples surgery from the localization procedure. The high magnetic seed retrieval rate and low reexcision rate may reflect the accuracy of magnetic marker placement as a “second chance” localization procedure, especially in cases with biopsy clip migration.
