QT Imaging Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:QTI) a medical device company
engaged in research, development, and commercialization of
innovative body imaging systems, is pleased to announce further
expansion of locations offering the Breast Acoustic CT™ Scanner to
Vitality Renewal Functional Medicine, in Crystal Lake, Illinois.
The commercial shipment was made together with our strategic
business and distribution partner.
Dr. Yvonne Karney, founder of Vitality Renewal Functional
Medicine, has been an obstetrics and gynecology doctor for 25
years. Dr. Karney served in the Air Force for 8 years.
“I cannot be more excited that QTI’s Breast Acoustic CT Scanner™
will be available in Chicagoland this summer! The QTscan™ is the
first non-invasive breast imaging technology that provides a true
3D image of the breast’s microanatomy down to a few hundred cells
without compression or harmful radiation. FDA cleared, and more
accurate than mammography and hand-held ultrasound at identifying
certain breast structures, the QTscan™ algorithm can systematically
strip away normal tissues to expose an underlying mass deep within
the dense breast tissue,” said Dr. Karney. “The goal of mammography
is to detect cancer early, making treatment easier and resulting in
a lower death rate from breast cancer, but there are a few
substantial limitations of this imaging modality, which has been
the standard of care for decades. Not all breast cancers have
calcifications, and these are missed with mammography1. For women
with dense breasts, meaning a higher ratio of fibrous to fat
tissue, the mammogram is difficult to interpret. This is a
significant limitation, because over 40% of women have dense
breasts.2 Half of women screened over a 10-year period will have a
false positive mammogram. This occurs when the call-back for
additional views and possible procedures ends up being
non-cancerous. While around 12% of 2-D screening mammograms are
recalled for more work-up, only 4.4% of those recalls, or 0.5%
overall, conclude with a cancer diagnosis.3 Women deserve to know
ALL the facts and be championed for making their own
decisions.”
“The QTI team is very proud every time we ship a scanner to
another location in the U.S. and doctors such as Dr. Karney get to
offer our breast imaging technology to women. Our commitment is to
keep doing this until all women will have a choice,” said Dr.
Raluca Dinu, Chief Executive Officer at QTI.
