Deskripsi

To visualize the tumor cavity after lumpectomy, the tumor cavity was coated with the liquid tissue marker sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB) with its radiopaque electron dense SAIB analogue (x-SAIB) and assessed for radiotherapy planning. SAIB/x-SAIB enhanced the confidence for target structure definition. Tissue displacement after oncoplasty may be revealed by SAIB/x-SAIB.
