Image-guided localization procedure for tissue marking

In this add–on procedure, the provider places an additional 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 or ultrasound imaging, technologies that display live images on a video monitor, to guide the needle to the right location. The provider places this localization device at the same session that the provider places the initial device for the first lesion. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries.
