| 摘要 |
Lesions, biopsy sites, and other target sites in solid tissue are localized by positioning an illumination source adjacent the lesion in the solid tissue. Usually, the illumination source is positioned using a localization wire which is percutaneously introduced to the lesion. Alternatively, the illumination source may be provided by an implantable capsule which is introduced using a cannula or needle. In both cases, the illumination may be visually or optically detected and used to guide a surgical procedure to the lesion. Kits comprising the localization wire illumination capsule, and instructions for use are also described. |
