A recent study evaluated a morphological imaging scanner's effectiveness, achieving 95.2 percent accuracy in assessing surgical margins during breast-conserving surgery, significantly outperforming traditional macroscopic examination's 81 percent accuracy. Conducted at the Montpellier Cancer Institute, the retrospective analysis involved 20 patients and highlighted the scanner's capability in rapidly examining fresh lumpectomy specimens. This enhances intraoperative assessments, thereby reducing the likelihood of re-excision while presenting challenges in differentiating benign lesions from malignant ones.
