Abstract

The system is for use with a tissue sample and includes a tray and an apparatus. The tray is for receiving the tissue sample in use and an apparatus. The apparatus includes: a support which receives the tray in use: a probe adapted to transmit waves and identify wave echoes: a tissue marking device; and a transporter adapted to: convey the probe over the tissue sample in use, the probe and the transporter being adapted such that, in use, information about the tissue sample is collected sufficient to permit a radiologist to identify structures which resemble lymph nodes in the tissue sample; and convey the tissue marking device to locations of interest which correspond to the locations of structures which resemble lymph nodes in the tissue sample.
