A breast surgeon and I invented a product (2View) for imaging breast lumpectomy specimens. What I have found is that there is absolutely NO standard in how this is done at different hospitals. Some use containers to hold the specimen, some use baggies, some use nothing. Some image in the OR on a Faxitron or similar device, some in Radiology, and some on a regular mammo unit. Some get 90 degree views, some don't. Some use compression (which can damage the specimen) and some don't. With this number of variables you can see why no two places do it alike. I was hoping to start a discussion about the best ways to get good margin analysis and hopefully reduce re-excision rates on lumpectomy cases. I have attached a white paper written by Dr. C. Alan Henry, a breast surgeon and co-inventor of the 2View. Looking forward to a lively discussion.
