Kubtec released the new 17 x 14-inch Digiview 395 wireless flat panel detector for medical imaging. Lightweight, durable and easy to use, the Digiview 395 incorporates Kubtec's imaging capabilities and rapid image acquisition and display with wireless freedom. Designed for versatility and portability, the detector can be used anywhere medical imaging is required. It features wireless data transmission, giving medical personnel immediate access to critical information for faster interpretation and diagnosis.
Kubtec recently named new regional sales managers for the global markets. The appointments were made to meet the rising demand for Kubtec‘s products worldwide, including Mozart with TomoSpec, a specimen tomosynthesis system for excised breast tissue, and KUB 250, a high-resolution, low-dose portable digital X-ray system dedicated for neonatal imaging.
The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2014 meeting in December showcased many new digital radiography (DR) products. In today’s fairly stagnant economy, medical facilities are looking for ways to do more with what they already have, and stretch their budgets. In searching for new DR systems, cost-effectiveness, ease of use and flexibility top their list. Many vendors debuted solutions to meet this demand.
Kubtec announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of the KUB 250, a portable low-dose digital X-ray system dedicated to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The unit is compact and lightweight, sporting a 24-inch x 24-inch footprint and weighing 200 pounds.
Kubtec, a developer of digital specimen radiography systems, marks the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month with the U.S. FDA approved, Mozart with TomoSpec, the only breast specimen radiography system with tomosynthesis technology. In providing the most comprehensive analysis of excised breast tissue in a specimen radiography system, Mozart can help reduce re-excision and patient call back rates.
Kubtec’s new patent pending technology TomoSpec is an integral part of Mozart 3D specimen radiography system. Digital specimen tomosynthesis is a 3-D imaging modality for the intraoperative imaging of excised breast tissue.
Kubtec, a leader in innovation for digital specimen radiography, announced its development of TomoView, a groundbreaking tomosynthesis technology for digital specimen radiography of excised breast tissue. The company’s patent-pending technology allows for multi-planar x-ray imaging for thorough margin analysis of excised breast tissue and is the core foundation on which Kubtec’s upcoming system release, MOZART, is based.
April 30, 2014 — Kubtec announced it released the new Xpert 20 and Xpert 40 imaging systems. Redesigned with a sleeker, more ergonomic profile for improved functionality, the Xpert 20 and Xpert 40 offer the next step forward in digital specimen radiography.
Our hospital, Blessing Hospital in Quincy, Ill., recently implemented digital radiography (DR) systems in our general radiology rooms, emergency department (ED) and outpatient imaging center. We expected to achieve a more efficient imaging workflow — but the improvements were even more dramatic than we expected.
said, Thomas G. Frazier, M.D., Medical Director of the Comprehensive Breast Center at the Bryn Mawr Hospital. A nationally recognized surgical oncologist specializing in breast cancer, he performed the first immediate breast reconstruction surgery in the Philadelphia area. He uses KUBTEC’s XPERT 40 at Bryn Mawr Hospital, “at least four or five times a week, maybe more, in the operating room alone!” In addition to eliminating delays of interoperative transfers to radiology, images are available in seconds with the XPERT 40. Rapid image acquisition, user-friendly enhancement software and a touch-screen monitor give Dr. Frazier the ability to orient and evaluate an image in the operating room (OR) without breaking scrub.
Dr. Frazier, also a Clinical Professor of Surgery at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia and the Program Director of the Breast Fellowship Program at Bryn Mawr Hospital, was introduced to KUBTEC’s XPERT 40 at the American Society of Breast Surgeons annual meeting in 2009, in San Diego, CA. He had seen the value of a portable specimen radiography system for intraoperative breast surgery and reviewed the capabilities of the other specimen radiography systems. Dr. Frazier was impressed with the innovative technology the KUBTEC XPERT 40 offered. “The quality of the images was excellent, with the ease of use and the clear value the XPERT 40 offered made the decision an easy one for us.”
