How is Electromagnetic Tracking Used in Cancer Diagnosis?
In cancer diagnosis, electromagnetic tracking can be employed during procedures such as biopsies. It helps guide the biopsy needle to the exact location of the tumor, ensuring a more accurate sampling of tissue. This is particularly useful for tumors located in hard-to-reach areas or those that are small in size. The enhanced precision reduces the risk of missing the tumor and increases the likelihood of obtaining a representative tissue sample for analysis.
