KUBTEC® Expands Its Footprint in Europe with PICASSO® Plus Installation

In a significant advancement for pathology imaging technology, KUBTEC® has announced the installation of its first PICASSO® Plus specimen radiography system in Europe. This groundbreaking system has been set up in Falu Lasarett, the largest hospital in Dalarna County, Sweden. The launch signifies KUBTEC's commitment to expanding its innovative imaging solutions to the European market while addressing the growing demands for specialized radiography in pathology laboratories.

The Significance of the PICASSO® Plus System

The PICASSO® Plus system is designed for pathology labs, providing high-quality radiographs akin to those in mammography. One of its most notable features is the proprietary Image Blender™, which integrates X-ray and optical images through dual-specimen imaging technology. This allows pathologists and pathology assistants to quickly identify key markers, such as surgical clips, cutting edges, and microcalcifications, thereby facilitating faster diagnoses and treatment decisions.

Installed within the mammography radiology department of Falu Lasarett, the PICASSO® Plus system will first be reviewed by radiologists before pathologists assess the images when needed. Clinical staff at Falu Lasarett have expressed their satisfaction with the system's usability and image quality, particularly noting that the PICASSO® Plus makes it easy to detect microcalcifications in tiny biopsy samples contained in formalin-filled plastic bottles. This development underscores the increasing necessity for imaging technologies tailored to improve workflow efficiency in macro laboratories, ultimately enabling reliable assessment of surgical specimens.

Clinical Team Insights

During the initial cases handled with the PICASSO® Plus, the clinical team at Falu Lasarett shared positive feedback about the system. They highlighted its user-friendliness and outstanding image clarity, stating, "The system is so easy to operate, and the image quality is superb. Microcalcifications are remarkably visible, even in very small biopsy samples." Such feedback reaffirms the technological advancements that KUBTEC is introducing to streamline pathology processes, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Future Prospects

The introduction of the PICASSO® Plus in Falu Lasarett is just the beginning. KUBTEC aims to further support the needs of the healthcare sector in Dalarna and beyond over the coming years. The company’s mission focuses on developing groundbreaking technologies that facilitate precise cancer surgeries and enhance patient treatment outcomes. With over 20 years of experience in tissue specimen imaging and margin assessment technology, KUBTEC continues to lead in providing an extensive range of imaging systems intended for use in operating rooms, pathology labs, and biopsy spaces.

As the demand for effective imaging solutions evolves, KUBTEC remains dedicated to innovation and quality, poised to redefine specimen radiography for the 21st century.
