Abstract

A carrier (100) and method of using to orient and maintain an excised tissue sample (106) in an orientation sufficient to determine its position in a body. The carrier (100) permits radiological and pathological evaluation of a precisely and accurately oriented tissue specimen (106). The carrier (100) has a first mating piece (102) that couples to a second mating piece (104) to define an enclosure for containing an excised tissue specimen (106). The specimen (106) is marked and maintained in its in vivo orientation from the time of excision and is evaluated for localization and orientation of a tumor during radiological and/or pathological assessment. The carrier (100) and method increase the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosis and any subsequent treatment.
