This session will focus on advances in pre-operative image-guided localizations. We will review the unique aspects of currently available localization methods, including wires, radioactive seeds, magnetic seeds, radiofrequency identification devices, and infrared reflectors. Additional topics covered will include troubleshooting of challenging cases, potential pitfalls, and updates in axillary localization for targeted axillary dissection.

Learning Objectives:

Explain the currently available devices for image-guided pre-operative localization and the unique characteristics of each.
Recognize common challenges and pitfalls encountered with image-guided localization and formulate potential solutions.
