Abstract:
A method and apparatus for preparing tissue of interest in a patient for possible excision by surgery. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of: removing a biopsy sample from the tissue of interest; placing a magnetic marker at the biopsy site; performing a pathology analysis of the biopsy sample; and if the pathology analysis indicates that the tissue of interest should be removed, locating the tissue for surgery using a magnetic detection probe. In one embodiment, the marker comprises magnetic nanoparticles in a bioabsorbable matrix. A system for preparing tissue of interest in a patient for possible excision by surgery. In one embodiment, the system includes a magnetic marker and magnetic detection probe system.
