Comparison of the time taken for localised breast surgery pre‐ and post‐introduction of intra‐operative digital specimen mammography

More than half of the patients with an impalpable malignant breast lesion have a mammographically detected and imaged‐guided localisation, which can be technically challenging for the breast surgeon. Specimen imaging is used to confirm successful excision of the localised index lesion and has improved the operating list efficiency resulting in a higher number of excisions per surgical list. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether introducing IDSM (intra‐operative digital specimen mammography) saved operation time for localised breast surgery.
