The MOZART iQ 3D Specimen Radiography System from KUBTEC is revolutionizing Intraoperative Specimen Imaging and Margin Assessment for Breast Cancer Surgery.
It uses 3D tomosynthesis X-ray technology, the gold standard in diagnostic mammography. This allows specimen analysis in 1 millimeter digital slices and identification of surgical margins in 3 axes.
The MOZART iQ® System is a major advancement in breast cancer margin assessment from KUBTEC. It uses 3D tomosynthesis X-ray technology, the gold standard for diagnostic mammography as well as amorphous selenium direct capture imaging technology, to enable surgeons and radiologists to accurately detect positive margins in breast cancer patients undergoing segmental mastectomy3. This new system is currently available in the US and Canada.
“You get a lot more clarity on exactly what you’re looking at in the breast tissue,” Jambhekar explained. “This is basically a 3D mammogram for the lump that is removed from the breast. So I can look in three dimensions and see, ‘Did I get all the cancer out?’ And if I feel like I didn’t, I can remove more at the time of surgery rather than bringing the patient back for a whole other surgery, which can be really traumatic for patients.”
In a UT Southwestern study of 446 breast cancer surgeries, The MOZART System "decreased re-excision rates by more than half" compared to the Hologic Trident® System.1
In a MD Anderson study of 99 breast cancer surgeries the authors concluded that use of The MOZART System “decreases the amount of additional tissue excised unnecessarily.”3
In a Rush Medical study, the use of The MOZART system “saved an average of 7.6 minutes per surgery and a decrease in OR cost of $284.62 per case” for wire‐localized segmental mastectomies.2
