Official Title: Combining Contrast-Enhanced Mammography and Radio-active Free Magnetic Seed Localization of Non-palpable Breast Tumors: A Feasibility Study
Brief Summary:
Rationale: Breast cancer patients are increasingly treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy for various reasons.These women receive chemotherapy before any surgery is performed.Many of these tumors need preoperative seed localization to help guide the surgeons to the site of the tumor within the breast.The interest is shifting towards to use of non-radioactive seeds, such as the magnetic seeds used in this study.A drawback of these seeds is the fact that they cause large susceptibility artifacts on (magnetic!)MRI of…
