This code system http://hl7.org/fhir/us/breast-radiology/CodeSystem/ForeignObjectCS defines the following codes:
Code | Display | Definition |
BBPellet | BB pellet | A BB pellet is present in the body and is visible
by the Mammogram, MRI and/or Ultrasound.
Valid for the following modalities: MG US MRI. |
BBPellets | BB pellets | BB pellets are present in the body and is visible
by the Mammogram, MRI and/or Ultrasound.
Valid for the following modalities: MG US MRI. |
BiopsyClip | Biopsy clip | Tissue marker placement after image-guided breast
biopsy has become a routine component
of clinical practice.
Marker placement distinguishes multiple biopsied
lesions within the same breast,
prevents re-biopsy of benign lesions, enables multi-modality
correlation, guides
pre-operative localization and helps confirm surgical
target removal.
Numerous breast tissue markers are currently available,
with varied shapes, composition,
and associated bio-absorbable components.
This review serves to familiarize the breast interventionalist
with the tissue markers
most widely available in the United States today
and to provide guidance regarding
selection of appropriate markers for various clinical
settings.
