Brief Title: A Study Comparing ex Vivo MRI Versus Radiography of Breast Specimens
Official Title: A Randomized Study Comparing ex Vivo MRI Versus Radiography of Breast Specimens in Evaluating Tumor-free Margins After Surgical Resection of Breast Microcalcifications
Study ID: NCT01869335
Brief Summary: Radiography of breast specimens is currently the only radiological procedure used to verify removal of microcalcifications and presence of tumor-free margins after breast surgical resection. Ex vivo MRI will be tested for its ability to detect residual tumor tissue not detected by radiography in resected breast tumor specimens and/or its ability to verify tumor-free margins in breast cancer detected by MRI only.
