Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This study will investigate quantitative microelastography imaging of ex vivo breast tissue by scanning fresh specimens from breast conserving surgery using the ORM-P2 device; a new handheld imaging device being developed for margin assessment using quantitative micro-elastography during breast conserving surgery.

Fresh main and additional margin specimens removed from participants undergoing breast conserving surgery, as per surgical standard of care/clinical decision making.

Excised specimen's will be scanned by engineers using the ORM-P2 device for a maximum of 1 hour from time of excision, before being placed in formalin. Engineers operating the device will be provided with face to face training a minimum of 2 weeks prior to first participant enrollment.

The specimens will undergo routine pathological testing, and scans will be co-registered with histology slide images.
