The MOZART® 3D Specimen Radiography System
A New Standard in Breast Cancer Margin Assessment
The MOZART System uses 3D tomosynthesis to identify surgical margins in three axes, and facilitates lower re-excisions by visualizing more information than 2D imaging.
Empowering Surgeons to Close with Confidence
The MOZART 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, to enable surgeons and radiologists to accurately detect positive margins in breast cancer patients undergoing segmental mastectomy.1
Benefits of The MOZART® System in the Operating Room
Re-excisions
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.2
Tissue Preservation
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."1
Efficiency
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.3
3 Dimensions
The MOZART System utilizes 3D tomosynthesis, which enables analysis in 1 millimeter digital slices. Each slice has its own margin, and can be viewed independently, unobscured by dense tissue above or below.
2D vs 3D Imaging
2D imaging is limited in what it actually enables the surgeon to see, as it doesn’t provide a full picture of the internal tissue of the surgical specimen, whereas 3D tomosynthesis allows the visualization of the breast specimen in three dimensions.

Testimonials
"Three dimensional specimen tomosynthesis has brought specimen radiography in to the 21st century as it negates all the short comings of two dimensional radiography and accurately provides data for targeted re-excision of cavity margins thereby reducing total volume loss and enhancing aesthetics.”

Oncoplastic & Reconstructive Breast Surgeon at Guy’s and St. Thomas NHS Foundation Trust
Clinical Data
