Breast Cancer by the Numbers
Breast Cancer remains the most frequently diagnosed Cancer in Women across the United States. Each year, hundreds of thousands of Women are diagnosed, and tens of thousands lose their lives to the disease. Current estimates show that 1 in 8 Women will face a Breast Cancer diagnosis during her lifetime, and for Women in their 50s, the risk is about 1 in 42 within that decade alone.
To improve outcomes, several screening methods are available today — from Self-Exams and Clinical Breast Exams to Mammography, Handheld Ultrasound, and MRI. While each plays an important role, all of these tools have certain limitations, leaving room for more accurate, patient-friendly technologies to enhance early detection.
Why Mammograms Aren't Always Enough
-
Mammography is still considered the standard tool for Breast Cancer Screening, with guidelines recommending Annual Exams starting at age 40.
-
Yet, fewer than two-thirds of women stay up to date with these screenings — even though they’re covered by insurance.
-
Part of the challenge is that Mammograms have Limitations: Results can be less reliable for women with dense breast tissue, often leading to inconclusive findings and additional testing. For women with implants, mammograms can also be painful, less effective, and raise concerns about safety.
-
At Perk Imaging, our mission is to provide a safer, more accurate, and Pain-Free alternative. The Breast QTscan™ is designed to detect cancer earlier, while also helping to reduce unnecessary callbacks and biopsies for benign conditions like cysts.
Having Dense Breasts
-
Many women have Dense Breasts, which Mammograms are Inefficient in Screening for Cancer.
-
50% of Women between the ages of 40-74 in the US have Dense Breasts, and 50% have another Type of Tissue.
-
In 84% of cases observed in a recent mini-study, QT Scanner identified Abnormalities in Dense Breasts that were not identified by X-Ray Mammograms.
-
The FDA has recognized the importance of Breast Density in Breast Cancer Screening
-
Mammograms Must Include Breast Density Information, New FDA Rule Says.
-
About half of the Women over the age of 40 in the U.S. have Dense Breast Tissue, which can make Cancer Scans hard to read.
Volumetric Breast Density Quantification
Beyond simply labeling density categories (like BI-RADS), QT produces volumetric breast density measurements in cubic centimeters, giving clinicians a precise number instead of just a subjective classification.
Innovation
QT Imaging’s proprietary hardware and algorithms allow breast tissues to be visualized in their natural pendant state, delivering highly detailed reconstructions. By integrating reflection and transmission imaging into a synchronized multi-modality system, the Breast Acoustic CT™ system significantly improves diagnostic capabilities.
Consistent Results Every Time
Whether it’s your first scan or your fifth, QT Imaging produces reliable, repeatable measurements that help track changes over time.
Smarter Breast Health Risk Tools
By giving exact numbers on tissue makeup, QT Imaging can enhance breast cancer risk models, making them more personal and precise.
Key Advantage
Unlike traditional imaging methods, this model-based technology provides true 3D data acquisition and reconstruction, enabling systematic tissue characterization. The result is a 3D speed-of-sound map and reflection tomogram that give clinicians powerful tools for accurate breast health assessment.
Technology
The system combines transmission ultrasound with reflection ultrasound, producing complementary data that gives healthcare providers a clear and reliable view of breast tissue. Using multiple acquisitions across 180 angles, the technology generates precise 3D volumetric images. These images are quantitative in nature, allowing clinicians to distinguish between different tissue types based on speed of sound and other properties.
Safe, Accurate, and Comfortable Imaging — No matter your Age, Risk, or Breast Type.
Breast QTscan™ is built for all women. Whether you’re managing Dense Breast Tissue, Living with Implants, Monitoring a Higher Risk, or simply Seeking a Safer and more comfortable Screening Option, our Technology adapts to you.
