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.”

October 31, 2011 – The Breast journal published new data from a prospective study conducted at the Seoul National University College of Medicine in Korea that shows positron emission mammography (PEM) has a higher sensitivity for tumor detection compared with whole-body positron emission tomography (PET)/ computed tomography (CT) when using both visual as well as quantitative analysis. These results were particularly striking and significant for smaller-sized tumors (less than 2 cm), likely due to the improved spatial resolution offered by PEM. This demonstrates PEM's clinical utility in being able to more effectively diagnosis early stage cancer.
