Fig 2. The expected uptake of RSL and MSL for both Standard of Care (SoC) and SoC with the adoption of MSL.

Fig 2

(A) Shows the uptake of RSL when MSL is not implemented based on the adoption curve of Rogers and the assumed uptake of localization techniques in 2022: 70% RSL, 30% WGL. (B) Shows the uptake curves for RSL and MSL based on the adoption curve of Rogers and the assumed uptake of localization techniques in 2022: 30% MSL, 40% RSL. These curves were used to identify the number of patients per year receiving one of the technologies and to identify the hospitals that transfer from one technology to another. Abbreviations: WGL = wire-guided localization, RSL = radioactive seed localization, MSL = magnetic seed localization.
