The FDA has approved the first breast specimen radiography system with tomosynthesis technology, MOZART with TomoSpec, from Connecticut-based manufacturer Kubtec.
The specimen radiography system is designed to offer comprehensive analysis of excised breast tissue to help reduce re-excision and patient call-back rates, according to the company. MOZART performs 3D margin assessment in one step without turning or repositioning the specimen container.
MOZART with TomoSpec is a mobile system that connects wirelessly to PACS.
