Summary

This is a 2 Phase study. In the first phase of the study, patients with palpable invasive breast cancer underwent pre-operative supine MRI and optical scanning in the surgical position. In the second phase of the study, patients with non-palpable invasive breast cancer or DCIS who desire breast conservation will be randomized to either a usual care group, or a group receiving a supine MRI in addition to conventional imaging (mammogram and prone MRI) and undergoing breast cancer resection without the wire localization technique.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Supine MRI

A limitation of MRI studies of the breast is that MRI exams are performed with the patient prone and the breasts in a pendant position, which is markedly different than the position of the breast when the patient is supine on the Operating Room table. The spatial information the surgeon receives from the prone MRI about the site of the tumor in the breast is hard to mentally translate into the actual site of the tumor in the breast of a supine patient prepared for surgery.
