Kubtec PICASSO Plus Specimen Radiography System: Imaging in the Gross Room
Authorized Kubtec specimen radiography equipment supplier. The PICASSO Plus represents the next generation of specimen radiography, specifically engineered to redefine imaging within the pathology gross room. By bringing high resolution X-ray capabilities directly to the pathology lab, it eliminates the need for specimen transport to radiology or mammography, which significantly reduces turnaround times for critical samples.
As the only pathology specific system featuring Amorphous Selenium Direct Capture imaging technology, the PICASSO Plus ensures that the same high level image quality used to diagnose breast cancer is now available for tissue analysis. This lets Pathologist Assistants see things differently, with absolute precision before the specimen even reaches the grossing station. A large 10 by 12 inch detector suits larger specimens such as mastectomies, the Image Blender combines X-ray and optical images, and voice and gesture control with an included Pablo Tablet deliver a touch-free, mobile workflow.

Eliminate Transport: X-ray imaging in the gross room removes the need to transport specimens to radiology or mammography
Gross Room Workflow: workflow features designed specifically for the gross room reduce turnaround time and bottlenecks
How the PICASSO Plus compares against a traditional specimen imaging workflow:
In today’s fast paced pathology lab, Pathologist Assistants need X-ray imaging in the gross room to reduce turnaround time and eliminate specimen transport to radiology or mammography, while enabling accurate identification of clips, markers, and microcalcifications. The PICASSO Plus redefines imaging in the pathology lab with workflow features designed specifically for the gross room. By keeping imaging, blending, and annotation at the point of care, it provides the high resolution data needed for accurate pathology analysis while maintaining the integrity of the gross room environment.

Clinical Applications
Deployed in the pathology gross room where on-site specimen imaging, fast turnaround, and accurate correlation decide how quickly a confident diagnosis is reached.
High resolution X-ray imaging in the gross room removes specimen transport to radiology or mammography and keeps the workflow at the point of care.
The large 10 by 12 inch detector and Amorphous Selenium technology suit larger specimens such as mastectomies.
Diagnostic quality images enable rapid identification of surgical clips, markers, margins, and microcalcifications.
Gross room workflow features reduce turnaround time and eliminate bottlenecks for busy pathology labs.
Voice and gesture control provide a touch-free experience that maintains the integrity of the gross room environment.
The Image Blender combines X-ray and optical images so tissue can be placed into cassettes with precision before grossing.
From Specimen to Grossing in the Gross Room
A pathology workflow built to keep imaging at the point of care. On-site imaging, X-ray and optical blending, and mobile annotation move the specimen from receipt to grossing without interruption. Expanded workflow details are in the expandable sections below.
The specimen stays in the gross room rather than traveling to radiology or mammography. X-ray imaging at the point of care eliminates transport and reduces turnaround time for critical samples, keeping the Pathologist Assistant in control of the workflow.
The Amorphous Selenium Direct Capture detector and 10 by 12 inch imaging area produce crisp, diagnostic quality images, even for large specimens such as mastectomies. Voice and gesture control let the operator navigate hands-free to maintain the integrity of the gross room.
The Image Blender combines the X-ray and optical images so the team can see it all together prior to grossing. This supports rapid identification of clips, markers, and microcalcifications and the seamless placement of tissue into cassettes.
The included Pablo Tablet provides image access and annotation tools anywhere in the gross room, which ensures a smooth transition to the grossing station and beyond. Images route to the laboratory information system through standard connectivity for the record.
