— Breast Imaging
Revolutionary Screening.
Zero Radiation.
QT Imaging — an FDA-cleared breakthrough that uses ultrasound waves to produce high-resolution 3D images. No compression. No radiation. No contrast agents. Just clear, early detection.
— Why QT Imaging
The QT scan® characterizes and isolates certain tissue types based on speed of sound — producing true volumetric, quantitative 3D images that mammography simply cannot match. Especially powerful for dense breast tissue.
01 No RadiationZero ionizing radiation — screen more often, earlier, with complete peace of mind.
02 No CompressionComfortable and painless. No compression paddles, no discomfort.
03 True 3D ImagingHigh-resolution volumetric images — every cubic millimeter evaluated.
04 Superior for Dense Tissue
| Feature | QT Imaging | Mammography | Breast MRI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Radiation | None | Ionizing radiation | None |
| Compression | None -- scan in water bath | Required -- often painful | None |
| Contrast Agent | Not required | Not required | Gadolinium required |
| Image Type | True 3D volumetric | 2D projection (3D tomo: limited) | 3D -- high soft tissue contrast |
| Dense Breast Tissue | Excellent visibility | Significantly limited | Good visibility |
| Scan Time | ~15--20 min per breast | ~10--15 min | 45--60+ min |
| Operator Dependence | Automated -- consistent | Moderate | Low--moderate |
| Repeatability | Safe for regular screening | Annual limit recommended | Contrast exposure limits use |
| Comfort Level | Relaxed, painless | Uncomfortable for many | Claustrophobic for some |

Breaking free from convention, I took a leap of faith and opened my own yoga studio, where I share my profound love for mindfulness and holistic well-being. I also extend my reach through my journal of thoughts, yoga practices, and how to make the world a better place.
— Part of the Longevity Package
The QT Imaging breast scan is included for female patients in our comprehensive Longevity Package — alongside Echolight bone density, TruAge testing, Episeek liquid biopsy, physician consultation, and Ammortal Chamber session.
Expert eyes on every scan
Licensed Radiologist — QT Imaging Trained
Every scan is read by a licensed radiologist with specific training in QT Imaging interpretation — not a generalist, but a specialist in this technology. Your results are reviewed with the expertise this advanced imaging deserves.
Who should get QT Imaging?
—Women with dense breast tissue
Where mammography is least effective, QT is most valuable.
—Women with a family history of breast cancer
Earlier, more frequent screening without radiation risk.
—Women who want proactive screening
Annual monitoring with zero radiation accumulation.
—Those seeking a more comfortable alternative
No compression, no pain — just clear, accurate imaging.
QT Imaging uses ultrasound -- not radiation -- to produce true 3D volumetric images of the entire breast without compression or contrast agents. Unlike mammography, it does not require ionizing radiation or painful compression. Unlike breast MRI, no gadolinium contrast is needed, and the scan is far more comfortable and accessible.
It is especially effective for dense breast tissue, where mammography is significantly limited. The system is automated and operator-independent, delivering consistent, repeatable results ideal for longitudinal monitoring over time.
Yes. The QT Imaging Breast Acoustic CT™ system is FDA-cleared as a breast imaging device. It has undergone rigorous clinical evaluation and is used in accredited clinical settings across the United States.
FDA clearance confirms the system meets the safety and effectiveness standards required for use as a diagnostic imaging tool in a clinical environment.
QT Imaging is not typically covered by traditional insurance plans, which are generally designed to cover illness treatment rather than advanced preventive screening.
Many clients use their HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) to offset costs, as QT Imaging may qualify as a medical expense under those plans. We recommend confirming eligibility with your plan administrator.
The QT scan typically takes approximately 15--20 minutes per breast. The process is fully automated -- you simply rest comfortably while the system acquires the images. There is no compression, no injections, and no preparation required beyond wearing comfortable clothing.
Total appointment time including check-in and any initial consultation is generally under an hour.
QT Imaging is appropriate for any woman seeking advanced, radiation-free breast screening. It is particularly beneficial for:
Your physician at LongevityRx will advise whether QT Imaging is the right choice for your specific situation and how it fits alongside other screening modalities.
QT Imaging is designed to complement existing screening protocols. Whether it can serve as your primary screening tool depends on your individual clinical picture, risk factors, and your physician's guidance.
Many women use QT Imaging alongside or in place of mammography -- particularly those with dense tissue or implants where mammography underperforms. Your LongevityRx physician will help determine the screening approach best suited to your needs.
