OUR STORY
Why We Sought A Better Way
As two holistic doctors with a combined 60 years of experience caring for women, we recognized the gaps in breast imaging.
Â
We saw women avoiding screening because of painful compression, concerns about radiation, or the anxiety of callbacks, additional testing, and potentially unnecessary biopsies.
Â
We also saw the challenges of dense breast tissue, which affects approximately 50% of women and can make abnormalities harder to detect on mammograms alone.
​
We wanted a better way—one without painful compression, ionizing radiation, or intravenous contrast.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Women Deserve More Choices
Ionizing radiation can damage cellular DNA and generate oxidative stress that affects mitochondria, the energy-producing structures within our cells.
Â
MRI contrast agents containing gadolinium raise another concern: gadolinium can be retained in the body for years after administration.
Â
We believe women deserve imaging choices that avoid unnecessary exposure when suitable alternatives are available.
OUR DISCOVERY
Bringing QT Imaging to Texas
After years of searching, we discovered QT Imaging and its innovative Breast Acoustic CTâ„¢ technology.
Â
We brought this technology to Texas and the southern United States to offer women another option for breast imaging—without compression, ionizing radiation, or an IV contrast injection.
​
Quantum Breast Imaging was born from our commitment to expanding women's choices.
OUR MISSION
Expanding Women's Choices in Breast Health
Whether you have dense breasts, breast implants, a family history of breast cancer, or want to be proactive about your health, we believe you deserve options.
Â
For women as young as 18, this technology can offer a way to assess breast health.
​
Women should never have to choose between their comfort and their health—or avoid imaging altogether.
