How It Works
A More Comfortable Approach to Breast Imaging
At Quantum Breast Imaging, we believe breast imaging should be comfortable, safe, and informative.
Using advanced FDA-cleared ultrasound technology creates detailed true 3D images of the breast — without radiation, painful compression, or contrast injections.
Unlike traditional mammography, the experience is designed with patient comfort in mind.
What Makes QT Imaging Different?
No Radiation
The QTscan™ uses sound waves instead of X-rays, providing a radiation-free imaging experience.
No Painful Compression
There is no squeezing or flattening of the breast during the scan, making the experience significantly more comfortable for many women.
No Contrast or Injections
No dyes, needles, or contrast agents are needed for the imaging process.
True 3D Breast Imaging
The technology captures high-resolution 3D images of breast tissue, allowing clinicians to evaluate the breast from multiple perspectives.
How the Scan Works
The QTscan™ uses advanced transmission ultrasound technology to gather detailed information about breast tissue.
1. You will lie comfortably face down on a specially designed scanning table.
2. One breast is gently positioned in a warm water bath opening beneath the table.
3. A scanning ring rotates around the breast while transmitting and receiving sound waves.
4. Thousands of data points are collected to create detailed 3D images of the breast tissue.
5. The process is then repeated for the other breast.
Designed for Comfort
Many women avoid or delay breast imaging because of discomfort, anxiety, or concerns about radiation exposure.
QT Breast Imaging was designed to create a gentler experience.
Patients simply lie comfortably while imaging information is gathered. There is no compression, no squeezing, and no exposure to radiation.
The warm water bath and relaxed positioning help make the scan more comfortable compared to traditional imaging methods.
Advanced Imaging for Dense Breast Tissue
Nearly half of women have dense breast tissue, which can sometimes make traditional imaging more difficult to interpret.
QT imaging technology creates detailed 3D images that help clinicians better visualize different tissue structures, including dense tissue.
This advanced imaging approach provides additional information that may support more comprehensive breast evaluation.
