This service is intended for screening purposes only and does not replace diagnostic imaging or routine care. Patients should continue recommended screenings and consult their healthcare provider for any medical concerns.
2.

What should I expect for Payment and Insurance Coverage?
At this time, getting a Scan at Perk Imaging is a Self-Pay service.
Beginning January 2027, patients may be able to submit their Imaging to Insurance for possible reimbursement. Coverage is not guaranteed and will depend on each individual Insurance Plan.
A CPT code has recently been established for QT Imaging, and we are hopeful that insurance coverage will become more widely available in the near future.

Who Reads the Scan Results?
All scans are reviewed by a board-certified radiologist trained in QT Imaging technology.
The radiologist provides a report of the imaging findings, which is shared with the patient. Patients are encouraged to review their results with their healthcare provider for any medical evaluation or next steps.
Is the QT Scan Method Safe?
Yes. The QT Scan uses sound wave imaging technology and does not involve radiation or compression. It is designed to be a non-invasive and comfortable screening option for patients.
Is the Scan Uncomfortable?
The Scan is non-invasive and painless. Patients usually find it to be comfortable and relaxing, without any discomfort or exposure to radiation.
How Accurate is the QT Scan?
QT Imaging provides detailed 3D images of breast tissue using advanced ultrasound technology. Rather than focusing on a single measure of accuracy, this type of imaging offers a different perspective that may provide additional insight as part of a screening experience.
All scans are reviewed by a board-certified radiologist, and patients are encouraged to discuss their results with their healthcare provider for any medical interpretation or follow-up.

How will my Results be Provided?
Your scan results, along with the radiologist's comments, will be securely emailed to you within 3 business days. A physical copy of the results can also be mailed to your address for your convenience.
What if my Scan Results are Abnormal?
If your scan identifies an area that may need further evaluation, the findings will be included in the radiologist’s report provided to you.
We encourage you to share your results with your healthcare provider, who can determine whether any additional imaging or follow-up is appropriate based on your individual medical history.
Perk Imaging does not diagnose or treat medical conditions, and all medical decisions should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider.
Does the QT Scan Replace Mammograms?
No. The QT scan is not intended to replace mammography. Mammograms remain an important part of routine breast screening.
QT Imaging is designed to be an additional screening option that provides a different type of 3D imaging. Many women choose to use it alongside their routine care as part of a more proactive approach to breast health.
