Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Data regarding the retrieval rate of the magnetic marker will be collected peri-operatively, using the magnetic probe to confirm the marker present in the excised tissue and to confirm the marker absent in the patients. Postoperatively, a pathologist will confirm the presence of the marker in the excised tissue. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Data regarding the resection margins will be collected from the pathology report. Data with respect to radiologist and surgeon satisfaction will be measured through the questionnaires presented in appendix 2. During the intake session, before the radiological intervention, patient demographics and relevant medical data will be registered, regarding the age of the patient, the location of the tumour (left or right breast, quadrant of the breast), histological aspects of the tumour (type, grade, size) and time between marker placement and surgery. | — |
