The growing use of mammography has resulted in increasing numbers of impalpable breast lesion specimens requiring histopathological assessment. The examination of such specimens may be very time-consuming as multiple levels of many tissue blocks may need to be studied. Two grid localization methods are compared with a serial slicing method in an attempt to determine an efficient manner of identifying the impalpable lesion, and thus minimizing unnecessary processing. The serial slicing technique gives excellent radiological-pathological correlation, but is probably too complex for routine use. A simple cardboard and metal staple device gives very good localization, and is quick, easy, and cheap to use.
乳腺钼靶检查的日益普及导致需要进行组织病理学评估的不可触及乳腺病变标本数量不断增加。检查此类标本可能非常耗时，因为可能需要研究许多组织块的多个层面。将两种网格定位方法与连续切片法进行比较，试图确定一种识别不可触及病变的有效方法，从而尽量减少不必要的处理。连续切片技术能提供极佳的放射学与病理学相关性，但可能过于复杂，不适合常规使用。一种简单的硬纸板和金属钉装置定位效果非常好，使用起来快速、简便且成本低廉。
