PRE-OPERATIVE LOCALIZATIONS
SEED and WIRE
Your radiologist will choose which modality best visualizes the area that needs to be localized.
Pre-Procedure for any Invasive Imaging Exam
To keep you safe during your procedure, please review the following:
-
Blood Thinners (like aspirin, Plavix, Eliquis, Xarelto, or Coumadin): Let your care team know if you're taking these before scheduling. You may need to stop them temporarily.
-
Anti-Inflammatory Medications (like Advil, Aleve, Motrin, or Ibuprofen): Please avoid these for 24 hours before and after your localization procedure, if possible.
-
Tylenol is safe to take before and after your procedure.
-
Take other routine medications as prescribed, unless your doctor gives you different instructions.
-
We recommend wearing a two piece outfit and a supportive bra for afterwards.
