TISSUE SPECIMEN EXAMINATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

Systems, devices, and methods disclosed provide for ultrasound examination of excised or ex vivo tissue specimens. An exemplary system for acoustically examining an excised tissue specimen includes an acoustically conductive container adapted to hold the excised tissue specimen in an acoustically conductive material; an ultrasound system comprising an ultrasound probe to generate an ultrasound image from scan information received from the probe; a position tracking system configured to track and record position data for the container; and an image recording and review system configured to electronically receive and record at least one ultrasound image generated by the ultrasound system, and the image recording and review system configured to generate position data for the recorded image based on the container position data. Other aspects of the invention provide for methods of using described systems and devices.
