Patent ID: 11039803

Abstract:
It would be advantageous with the close quarters in breast procedure rooms to create a system and method incorporating 2 modalities utilized in breast intervention procedures for the diagnosis and verification for breast cancer. Systems for specimen radiography assist radiologists and surgeons in the detection and classification of abnormal lesions in medical images gleaned from breast biopsies/lumpectomies and a Gamma or other probe system with a sensor to detect radioactive, metallic/magnet, or RFID waves to help locate a lump or abnormality which were placed by an Interventional Radiologist. With the utilization of a dual modality machine, the physician can detect the abnormalities, remove the abnormalities, and verify that they have achieved a clean margin, currently 1 mm, from the cancerous or abnormal tissues. Currently it is believed that there is not a system or method utilizing both a Gamma or other probe and Radiography in a cabinet system.
