High-Resolution Full-3D Specimen Imaging for Lumpectomy Margin Assessment in Breast Cancer

CONCLUSIONS: The ROC curves of the VSI were higher than those of the other specimen imaging methods. Full-3D specimen imaging can improve the correlation between the main lumpectomy specimen margin status and surgical pathology. The findings from this study suggest that using the VSI device for intraoperative margin assessment could further reduce the re-excision rates for women with malignant disease.PMID:34333705 | DOI:10.1245/s10434-021-10499-9
