Brief summary

This registry is intended to demonstrate the utility of SCOUT® in the Canadian public and US healthcare systems with fixed resources and a conservative approach to patient and clinician exposure to harm. The efficacy and safety of this system will be further assessed, as well as the acceptance of clinicians and patients.

Detailed description

This registry is intended to demonstrate the utility of SCOUT® in the Canadian public and US healthcare systems with fixed resources and a conservative approach to patient and clinician exposure to harm (i.e., radiation, COVID-19 exposure, patient emotional trauma). By assessing the utility of reflector insertion at the time of biopsy, this study will be able to measure the impact on patient visits to the breast center for invasive procedures between biopsy and surgery, and quantify this value to the public healthcare system. The efficacy and safety of this system will be further assessed, as well as the acceptance of clinicians and patients.
