CHAPTER 19 Diagnostic Procedures
PREOPERATIVE LOCALIZATION • Screening mammography allows us to see the lesion before it can be felt. • Surgeon needs help locating these nonpalpable lesions.
PREOPERATIVE LOCALIZATION • Examples of wire localization sets Hook at end of the wire-localization needle is firmly anchored into tissue near ROI
PREOPERATIVE LOCALIZATION • Radiologist determines how the patient is positioned. • Aim: Shortest skin to lesion presentation
PREOPERATIVE LOCALIZATION • For ROI in upper half of breast, CC is most common approach.
PREOPERATIVE LOCALIZATION • For ROI in LIQ, ML is most common approach.
PREOPERATIVE LOCALIZATION • For ROI in LOQ, LM is most common approach.
PREOPERATIVE LOCALIZATION • Remember to deactivate the automatic compression release before procedure begins … and re-engage when finished.
SPECIMEN RADIOGRAPHY • Calcium: Always • Mass lesion: May/may not • Magnify for easier viewing
SONOGRAPHIC IMAGING • Primarily distinguishes cystic from solid
SONOGRAPHIC IMAGING • If the lesion is a cyst, echoes first appear in the part of the cyst closest to the transducer.
SONOGRAPHIC IMAGING • With a soft tissue mass, a sprinkling of echoes throughout the entire mass suddenly appears.
BREAST ULTRASOUND PERFORMED BY: • Radiologist • US technologist • Specially trained mammography technologist
CYST ASPIRATION • If large or painful
DUCTOGRAM • For unilateral, spontaneous nipple discharge
FNAC • Fine needle aspiration cytology
SELECTIVE USE FOR ACCURATE RESULTS • Physician must be skilled at needle placement. • Physician skilled in slide preparation • Specially trained pathologist required.
