About Breast Specimen Radiography

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

Testimonials

dr michael alvarado

"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."

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.
