Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The primary study aim will be to test whether the magnetic seeds caused any<br /><br>disturbing artifacts on CEM images. For this purpose, two blinded radiologists<br /><br>will score the images for the presence of any artifacts and if present, if<br /><br>these are to such an extent that they would hamper diagnostic evaluation of the<br /><br>images. </p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>As secondary study, we will document technical success rate of seed deployment<br /><br>and retrieval during surgery, including the assessment of the surgical margins<br /><br>(positive or negative). </p><br>
