Abstract
Impalpable breast lesions are traditionally localised with a wire to facilitate surgical removal. This method of localisation is associated with a number of logistical problems, the main one being the requirement to do the localisation on the day of surgery. More recently, a number of non-wire techniques have been introduced. We evaluated the performance of a RFID (LOCalizerTM) in this context.
