[Localization of nonpalpable breast lesions in intraoperative rapid-section diagnosis using a new procedure]

The author describes a simplified method for the radiological demonstration of non-palpable breast lesions in operative specimens. The specimen is x-rayed with a wire grid let into the lid of a small plexiglass box. The box with the tissue is then sent to the pathologist. By comparing the radiograph with the specimen, the pathologist is able to orientate himself and to examine the area in question.
