Margin Management Without All the False Positives Intraoperative Specimen Tomosynthesis MEDICAL IMAGING

“I believe that 3D tomosynthesis specimen X-ray is more accurate. It helps us beyond the other generation of two-dimensional imaging. Good for the patient because if we can be more accurate, of course it reduces the re-excision rate.” “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." Peter Blumencranz, MD, FACS Medical Director The Comprehensive Breast Care Center of Tampa...

“For my practice, and many breast cancer centers of excellence around the world... Using 3D specimen tomosynthesis during surgery has helped the best surgeons reduce their re-excision rates even more.” - U.S. News & World Report October 30, 2019 Sheldon M. Feldman, MD, FACS Chief of Breast Surgery and Breast Surgical Oncology and Director of Breast Cancer Services at Montefiore Health System, New York, NY "3D tomography has radically streamlined breast cancer surgery by allowing surgeons to better visualize the breast and affected area, even through dense breast tissue, in the operating room.”...

The MOZART® System is more accurate at identifying positive margins. igital Breast Tomosynthesis is rapidly gaining acceptance as the next gold standard for specimen mammography. Unlike its traditional 2D X-ray counterpart, tomosynthesis allows the physician to see the breast specimen in 3 dimensions which improves accuracy and reduces false positives.

All vertical perspective is lost. In this example the positive margin...

Each slice anatomically has its own margin, and can be viewed independently of all the other slices. The view of each slice is unobscured by dense tissue above or below. Specimen tomosynthesis creates 1mm digital slices, each independent of the others. The peripheral lesion is on the 4mm slice. The surgeon is able to analyze the location and the extent of the lesion, and involvement of the peripheral, anterior...

DID YOU KNOW? Specimen Tomosynthesis in the Operating Room has several clinical, patient, and facility benefits. RE-EXCISION RATES Using 3D tomosynthesis in the Operating Room reduces re-excision rates by more than 50% compared to the traditional 2D imaging systems commonly in use.1 REDUCTION IN OR TIME & COST Using 3D Tomosynthesis resulted in an average of 7.6-minute reduction in OR time and a $284.62 charge savings for wire-localized segmental mastectomies with sentinel node biopsy.2 HEALTHY TISSUE 3D Tomosynthesis is less likely to recommend excising additional healthy tissue unnecessarily3...

Clinical Studies Specimen Tomosynthesis is a breakthrough technology for intraoperative quality of care. Clinical research suggests that The MOZART® System can help reduce re-excision rates and improve cosmesis for your patients.
