Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utilization of intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) for tumor localization in breast-conserving surgery and to examine its impact on margin positivity and re-excision rates. Additionally, the study seeks to identify factors contributing to surgeon utilization of IOUS. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted of patients with preoperative diagnosis of breast cancer undergoing breast-conserving surgery by breast surgeons at multiple centers within a single healthcare system. Characteristics such as lesion size, palpability, histology, receptor status, and use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy were recorded. Re-excision rates were determined based on localization technique and surgeons' status of breast ultrasound certification. RESULTS A total of 671 cases were performed, with 322 meeting study inclusion. 57 cases utilized IOUS, 250 utilized preoperative wire-guided localization (WGL), 10 used both methods and 5 cases used neither method. There was no significant difference in re-excision rates between IOUS and WGL or among the four surgeons. Ultrasound-certified surgeons were more likely to utilize IOUS, and re-excision rates trended higher for WGL, which may be clinically significant. CONCLUSION Increasing familiarity with and utilization of IOUS during breast-conserving surgery may be clinically advantageous over traditional localization techniques. Ultrasound certification may lead to increased use of IOUS among surgeons.

Abstract
Ultrasounds are often used in cancer treatment protocols, e.g. to collect tumor tissues in the right location using ultrasound-guided biopsy, to image the region of the tumor using more affordable and easier to use apparatus than MRI and CT, or to ablate tumor tissues using HIFU. The efficacy of these methods can be further improved by combining them with various nano-systems, thus enabling: (i) a better resolution of ultrasound imaging, allowing for example the visualization of angiogenic blood vessels, (ii) the specific tumor targeting of anti-tumor chemotherapeutic drugs or gases attached to or encapsulated in nano-systems and released in a controlled manner in the tumor under ultrasound application, (iii) tumor treatment at tumor site using more moderate heating temperatures than with HIFU. Furthermore, some nano-systems display adjustable sizes, i.e. nanobubbles can grow into micro-bubbles. Such dual size is advantageous since it enables gathering within the same unit the targeting properties of nano bubbles via EPR effect and the enhanced ultrasound contrasting properties of micro bubbles. Interestingly, the way in which nano-systems act against a tumor could in principle also be adjusted by accurately selecting the nano-system among a large choice and by tuning the values of the ultrasound parameters, which can lead, due to their mechanical nature, to specific effects such as cavitation that are usually not observed with purely electromagnetic waves and can potentially help destroying the tumor. This review highlights the clinical potential of these combined treatments that can improve the benefit/risk ratio of current cancer treatments.

Abstract
In this paper, we focus on the issue of rigid medical image registration using deep learning. Under ultrasound, the moving of some organs, e.g., liver and kidney, can be modeled as rigid motion. Therefore, when the ultrasound probe keeps stationary, the registration between frames can be modeled as rigid registration. We propose an unsupervised method with Convolutional Neural Networks. The network estimates from the input image pair the transform parameters first then the moving image is wrapped using the parameters. The loss is calculated between the registered image and the fixed image. Experiments on ultrasound data of kidney and liver verified that the method is capable of achieve higher accuracy compared with traditional methods and is much faster.

Abstract
Background: Nonpalpable breast lesions require localization, the gold standard for which is preoperative ultrasound-guided wire localization (PUGWL). Our unit also employs intraoperative ultrasound-guided wire localization (IUGWL). Here we evaluate PUGWL and IUGWL outcomes between 2014 and 2018. Primary outcomes were reoperation rates, complication rates and average specimen weights. Trainee feedback and cost analysis assessed IUGWL viability. Methods: Prospectively recorded data were collected. 511 patients were included (241 PUGWL and 270 IUGWL). Results: Reoperation rates: PUGWL 17.7% versus IUGWL 13.9% (p = 0.28) . Complication rates: PUGWL 5.8% versus IUGWL 6.6% (p = 0.72) . Average specimen weight: PUGWL 34.2 g versus IUGWL 24.3 g (p < 0.0001) . Trainees needed 15 supervised cases to be IUGWL competent. Performing IUGWL saves £289 per localization. Conclusion: IUGWL outcomes are comparable to those of PUGWL. IUGWL is cost-effective, patient-friendly and easy to learn and replicate. IUGWL merits wider dissemination and further planned research.

Abstract
Objective This study was designed to compare the margin clearance and re-excision rates of ultrasound (US)- and wire-guided excision in a large number of patients with nonpalpable breast cancer. Methods In total, 520 women who were histologically diagnosed with nonpalpable breast cancer were recruited in this study. All nonpalpable lesions were visible by US. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: those who underwent wire-guided breast-conserving surgery (BCS) and those who underwent US-guided BCS. Re-excision rates and positive surgical margins were recorded. Results A total of 262 patients underwent US-guided excision and 258 patients underwent wire-guided excision. No differences were found in tumor or patient characteristics. The positive margin rate was 4.6% in the US-guided group and 19.4% in the wire-guided group with a significant difference. Age, menopausal status, excision volume, histological grade, and tumor type significantly influenced the positive surgical margin rate. The intraoperative re-excision rate was significantly lower in the US-guided group than wire-guided group (11.1% vs. 24.0%, respectively). Conclusions US-guided BCS seems to be more effective than wire-guided BCS for treatment of nonpalpable breast cancers in terms of the margin clearance and re-excision rates. Patients can avoid the discomfort caused by preoperative wire placement.

Abstract
This prospective study evaluated the intraoperative ultrasound scan (IUSS) for nonpalpable breast lesions' detection. A total of 108 consecutive female patients underwent surgery using IUSS: Frozen sections demonstrated clear margins in 95.5% of neoplastic patients. Only four (4.5%) patients underwent local re-excision in the same operation. IUSS demonstrated to be quick, accurate, useful, effective, and safe for the intraoperative management of neoplastic nonpalpable breast lesions when performed by a surgeon who has undergone US training, particularly for people in whom alternative approaches can show some limitations due to contraindications or because of scheduling constraints, costs, and patient discomfort.
