SAVI Scout localization – pro
SCOUT®, an FDA-cleared breast lesion localization tool that uses micro-impulse radar to localize and direct the removal of non-palpable breast lesions, became available in late 2015. Non-wire location techniques are beneficial, allowing image-guided placement before the day of
surgery and resulting in improved workflows. These techniques also eliminate bothersome protruding wires, risk of dislodging, and allow the incision site to be
independent from the localization site.
