Lesion Localization

Background: Reoperative neck surgery is technically more demanding because of the presence of scar tissue and distorted anatomy. We aimed to investigate the magnetic probe–guided excision of nonpalpable neck lesions in patients with previously operated neck compartments. Methods: This study included 9 patients with recurrent/persistent thyroid carcinoma, recurrent/persistent hyperparathyroidism with previously operated neck compartments. The pathologic lesions were localized by ultrasonography, and magnetic tracer (0.2 mL, iron oxide) was injected directly into the pathologic lesions. Careful dissection was carried out following the area of maximum magnetic activity until the nonpalpable lesions were identified and excised. Result: All neck lesions were removed in 9 patients. The median count from lesion was significantly higher than values from lesion bed (background activity; (9900/5 seconds vs 250/5 seconds, P < .001). During follow-up, all patients had negative ultrasonography. Conclusion: Magnetic probe–guided technique could provide access to nonpalpable lesion localization in centers without readily available access to nuclear medicine facilities.

Medical students depend on illustration to learn anatomical facts and details that may be too subtle for the written or spoken word. For surgical disciplines, learners rely on tools such as language, 2-dimensional illustrations, and 3-dimensional models to pass on important concepts. Although a photograph can convey factual information, illustration can highlight and educate the pertinent details for understanding surgical procedures, neurovascular structures, and the pathological disease processes. In order to understand the current role of medical illustration in education, one needs to look to the past to see how art has helped solve communication dilemmas when learning medicine. This paper focuses on Max Brodel (1870-1941), a German-trained artist who eventually immigrated to the United States to pursue his career as a medical illustrator. Shortly after his arrival in Baltimore, Brodel made significant contributions to medical illustration in Gynecology at John Hopkins University, and eventually in other fields of medicine such as Urology and Otolaryngology. Brodel is recognized as one of America’s most distinguished medical illustrators for creating innovative artistic techniques and founding the profession of medical illustration. Today, animated computer based art is synergistically used with medical illustration to educate students about anatomy. Some of the changes that have occurred with the advancement of computer technology will be highlighted and compared to a century ago, when illustrations were used for teaching anatomy due to the scarcity of cadavers.
