Marker Placement & Wire / Seed Localization

Precision-Guided Breast Lesion Localization at HealthBay

At HealthBay Breast Care Center, we offer marker placement and wire or seed localization under ultrasound or mammogram guidance to accurately identify breast lesions before surgery. These advanced localization techniques play a crucial role in ensuring precise surgical planning and successful breast lesion management.

Our goal is to support safe, accurate, and minimally invasive breast care using the latest imaging technology and expert clinical guidance.

What Is Marker Placement and Localization?

Marker placement involves inserting a tiny marker into the breast tissue to mark the exact location of a lesion after a biopsy.

Wire or seed localization helps surgeons accurately locate non-palpable breast lesions during surgery.

These procedures are performed using ultrasound or mammogram guidance, ensuring high precision and minimal discomfort.

Why Is Localization Needed?

Localization techniques are commonly used when:

• A breast lesion is too small to be felt
• A biopsy-confirmed abnormality needs surgical removal
• The exact location of a lesion must be preserved
• Pre-surgical planning requires precise targeting
• Follow-up treatment or monitoring is needed

These techniques help surgeons remove only the affected tissue while preserving healthy breast tissue.

Types of Localization Techniques

• Marker Placement: A tiny marker is placed at the biopsy site to help locate the area for future imaging or surgery.
• Wire Localization: A thin wire is guided to the lesion on the day of surgery to guide the surgeon accurately.
• Seed Localization: A small radioactive or magnetic seed is placed in the breast, allowing flexible scheduling and precise lesion removal.

How the Procedure Is Performed

• Imaging guidance using ultrasound or mammography
• Local anesthesia for comfort
• Precise placement of marker, wire, or seed
• Quick outpatient procedure
• No major downtime required

The process is safe, minimally invasive, and usually completed within a short time.
