Vikram Butani said he’s still searching for new ways to make surgeons’ jobs easier while his business continues to pile up successes.
Sheldon Feldman, M.D. in U.S. News & World Report: Avoiding a Second Breast Cancer Surgery
A BREAST CANCER diagnosis can be overwhelming for people facing important decisions about treatment options. One of those decisions is to choose between a mastectomy or a lumpectomy, sometimes referred to as breast-conserving surgery.
MURPHY HIGHLIGHTS KUBTEC MEDICAL IMAGING AS “MURPHY’S INNOVATOR OF THE MONTH”
U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) announced on Friday that Stratford innovator Kubtec Medical Imaging has been named “Innovator of the Month.”
New technology improving surgery outcomes for breast cancer patients
Today we're taking a look at new, 3D technology that may lower the need for re-operations, reducing re-excision rates after a lumpectomy is performed.
Dr. Andrea Colton, MD, MPH of Lexington Clinic sits down to answer questions about breast health and breast cancer.
“Another cutting-edge process employed at Lexington Clinic’s Center for Breast Care is Kubtec technology. It’s a 3-D mammogram machine that essentially does tomosynthesis and provides a scan of the breast tissue, similar to a CT Scan. 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.”
How intraoperative 3-D specimen tomosynthesis ensures fewer repeat breast cancer surgeries
This year in the United States, nearly 270,000 women will receive the devastating news that they have breast cancer. Many will choose breast-conserving surgery, commonly referred to as lumpectomy, wherein the surgeon seeks to remove the malignant tumor, while also preserving as much healthy breast tissue as possible...
