In a month chosen no doubt for its connection to breast cancer awareness, Kubtec Digital X-ray is releasing its newly approved (by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) Mozart with Tomospec, a breast specimen radiography system with tomosynthesis technology. Mozart provides a comprehensive analysis of excised breast tissue in a specimen radiography system, and is hoped to reduce re-excision and patient call back rates. The speed and method with which the high resolution image slices are acquired mean shorter surgeries and less anesthesia time for the patient, lowering the risk of infection in hospitals, the company claims.
“Mozart with Tomospec allows 3-D margin assessment in one step, without turning and repositioning the specimen container,” said Vikram Butani, president of Kubtec. “The system captures an entire data set in less time than it takes to acquire multiple 2-D images. This is critical for delivering a higher level of care to women undergoing surgery for breast cancer.”
Mozart with Tomospec is a mobile system that can be used in radiology, pathology or surgery. Images can be viewed directly on the monitor or transmitted wirelessly to a PACS (picture archiving and communications system.
“Mozart with Tomospec provides a quantum leap forward in intraoperative specimen radiography, elevating the standard of care,” said Chester Lowe, Ph.D., FACR, director of research and development at Kubtec. “Employing an elegant synthesis of digital technologies, Mozart with TomoSpec provides the most advanced specimen imaging available for breast tissue margin confirmation.”
Mozart with TomoSpec is available worldwide.
