Device Insertion for Tissue Localization Procedure

The provider places a tiny metallic or radioactive device into the patient’s body through a needle the provider inserts through the patient’s skin in order to mark the exact location of suspicious tissue for a subsequent surgical procedure or radiation treatment. The provider uses fluoroscopy, a live X–ray that projects on a display screen, or ultrasound imaging to guide the needle to the right location.
