Come see the latest from KUBTEC May 1 - 3 at the ASBrS Annual Meeting in Las Vegas, NV!
We'll be available to meet with you at Booths 318 & 319.
Specimen radiography is a specialized imaging technique utilizing x-rays to examine excised tissue samples, particularly from breast biopsies or lumpectomies.
It plays a crucial role in confirming the presence and extent of suspicious lesions. KUBTEC has been a leader in the development of mobile cabinet X-ray systems, allowing specimen radiographs to be done safely and conveniently anywhere in the hospital.
At KUBTEC®, we believe in the power of 3D.
3D tomosynthesis transformed diagnostic mammography. Believing it would do the same for intraoperative margin assessment, we patented the technology for specimen imaging in the OR. Introduced under the MOZART™ brand, 3D specimen tomosynthesis has now been shown - by identifying surgical margins in three axes - to facilitate lower re-excisions than 2D imaging1
At KUBTEC®, our passion is developing transformative technologies that enable precision cancer surgery. For nearly 20 years, we have led the way in specimen imaging technology, and now we also offer an innovative gamma probe detection system that seamlessly integrates with our imaging solutions.
As a family-owned company, headquartered in Connecticut, USA, our dedication to improving care goes beyond exceptional products - we take immense pride in delivering unparalleled service and support to all our customers across the globe.
“MOZART is a great aide, including challenging breast cancer cases for breast conservation, such as dense breast with calcifications, small breasts (where you need to go close to remove as much as required but not more than that), and complex cases requiring advanced oncoplastic techniques.”
Dr. Andreas Karakatsanis, MD PhD FEBS
Chief of Breast Surgery at Akademiska University Hospital in Uppsala, Sweden
“The picture slices it from top to bottom with one-millimeter slices, which allows me to look at each slice individually. This allows me to identify things more easily and be more precise in patient procedures.”
Andrea Colton, MD, MPH
Breast Surgical Oncologist, Lexington Clinic
“It reduces amount of tissue removed at re-excision (intra-operatively at first surgery or subsequent surgery) to hemi-quadrant (1/8 shave) vs hemisphere or multiple 6 margin random shaves.”
Ralph Corsetti, MD, FACS
Edward G. Schlieder Educational Foundation Chair in Surgical Oncology, Tulane University School of Medicine
“Specimen tomosynthesis is a no- brainer. If you’re a breast surgeon, and you want to provide the best care, this is it. To identify whether you’ve done the right operation, you need this.”
Cary Kaufman, MD, FACS
Associate Clinical Professor of Surgery, Bellingham Regional Breast Center
"We want the patient to have the best possible results, a combination of least times having to go back for cancer or re-excision, but taking out the least amount of tissue to preserve the best cosmesis. So I think having 3D specimen X-rays is letting us do both those things."
Michael Alvarado, MD, FACS
Professor of Surgery, University of California San Francisco
Specimen tomosynthesis allows me to remove a smaller volume of initial incision allowing patients to have a better cosmetic result.
Andrea Madrigrano, MD, FACS
Assistant Professor of Surgery, Rush University Surgeons
KUBTEC’s three dimensional specimen tomosynthesis has brought specimen radiography in to the 21st century
