Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a breast lump locator. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the incidence of breast cancer has been increasing, and it has become the first female malignant tumor. The most common clinical manifestation of breast cancer is a breast lump, which usually requires surgical resection and biopsy after a breast lump is found. With the development of science and technology, in order not to cause damage to the breast shape of patients, the mammotome device is mainly used for minimally invasive resection of breast lumps at present. Breast lumpectomy with the Mammotome device is generally performed under ultrasound guidance. [0003] During the operation, the breast mass is first positioned using the "T-shaped positioning method" using ultrasound equipment, and then the patient's body surface is marked, and then under the guidance of ultrasound, the breast mass is remove...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in clinical work, it is often found that many women have multiple breast lumps in their breasts. If one of the breast lumps is found to be malignant during postoperative biopsy, it is difficult to accurately locate the breast lump

At present, the method abroad to solve the above problems is to place metal positioning markers at the position of each breast lump, but the price of such metal positioning markers is relatively expensive, and it is acceptable for a single lump. If there are many breast lumps, then A small expense to the patient

In addition, because the hospital does not have clear marking data on the location of breast lumps, it is difficult for patients to determine whether a breast lump is found after surgery or whether it is a surgical residue or a new lump, which may easily lead to medical disputes.
