The system is designed to help surgeons locate breast lesions that cannot be felt during a physical examination, allowing for more targeted removal of cancerous tissue and potentially reducing complications and the need for additional surgeries.
A new Trident HD Imaging Unit in the hospital’s Diagnostic Imaging department is being introduced alongside the technology. “The Trident HD Imaging Unit can be used to help in the detection of lymph nodes and breast cancer by allowing tissue removed during surgery to be imaged in the operating room (OR),” Medicine Hat Regional Hospital general radiology supervisor Lynzee Marsh said in a news release. “This helps the surgeon quickly confirm during surgery that the cancerous tissue and the Magseed have been successfully removed.”The Sentimag system uses magnetic technology to help surgeons locate targeted tissue.

The technology offers an alternative to traditional wire localization, which typically requires a wire to be inserted on the day of surgery. Dr.
