Detection of involved margins in breast specimens with X-ray phase-contrast computed tomography

Abstract Margins of wide local excisions in breast conserving surgery are tested through histology, which can delay results by days and lead to second operations. Detection of margin involvement intraoperatively would allow the removal of additional tissue during the same intervention. X-ray phase c...
