BIOPSY MARKER WITH IN SITU-GENERATED IMAGING PROPERTIES

摘要

A method of marking a biopsy site within living tissue of a host includes providing a marker that incorporates biological tissue for which antibodies can be produced; inserting the marker at the biopsy site in the host; producing a specific antibody for the biological tissue that is grown and tagged with a radioactive label; injecting the specific antibody in the host, the specific antibody concentrating in and about the biological tissue to cause a concentration of the radioactive label in the vicinity of the marker; and imaging the radioactive label using a radiation detector.
