Preoperative localization techniques

Preoperative localization techniques are methods used by medical teams to precisely identify the location of a problem, such as a tumor or abnormal tissue, before surgery. These techniques include imaging tests like ultrasound, mammography, or MRI, which create detailed pictures of the inside of the body, and sometimes special markers or dyes are placed near the area of concern. The goal is to help surgeons plan and perform the procedure more accurately, reducing risks and improving outcomes. Overall, these techniques ensure the surgeon knows exactly where to operate, making surgeries safer and more effective.
