Intra-operative specimen radiography (IOSR) is used to screen specimens during breast-conserving surgery and attempt to identify incompletely excised lesions. Universal use of IOSR during surgery for impalpable breast cancer is advocated by current guidelines. This study evaluates the role of IOSR during breast-conserving surgery for palpable breast cancer.
