Pathology professionals play a vital role in the delivery of timely and effective patient care. With caseloads and burnout rates increasing it is more important than ever that pathology departments obtain the right resources that aid in the reduction of turnaround time for patient specimens and increase accuracy during every case.

Image guided localization is a valuable tool commonly utilized during partial mastectomy (PM) to ensure accurate removal of early-stage breast cancer. Many techniques and imaging modalities exist to confirm completeness of the initial procedure including: six (6) quadrant shaves, selective shaves, pathologic gross evaluation and margin probe use. Still, approximately 1 out of 5 patients require a second procedure in order to obtain a negative surgical margin.

To obtain the so-called three-dimensional view (3-D), routine use of two orthogonal images have been utilized as a 3-D view. Yet in screening mammography, true 3-D mammography has now arrived as tomosynthesis, not simply two orthogonal MLO and CC views of the breast.

AdventHealth System one of the largest and most prominent healthcare systems in Florida, recently purchased their fourth XPERT 80® Specimen Radiography System from KUBTEC. This unit has already been installed in the pathology lab at AdventHealth Altamonte Springs.
