On the day of surgery, the surgeon will remove the patient's cancerous tissue, and then in a separate room near the operating room, imaging staff will test it with the Structured Light Imaging system. The testing may take several extra minutes to capture the images. After this imaging, the surgeon will complete the surgery. Following surgery, and per routine medical care, the patient's breast tumor tissue sample will be sent to DHMC's lab for testing. The patient will see her primary doctor for standard surgery follow-up.
No additional imaging or testing will be required for this research study following the usual surgery.
