Introducing the Compression-Free Breast QTscan at the Couri Center: Revolutionizing Breast Imaging with Comfort, Safety, and Precision

The Couri Center is dedicated to advancing women’s health through the latest medical innovations. That’s why we are proud to introduce the Breast QTscan™, a groundbreaking technology offering a safer, more comfortable, and precise approach to breast imaging.

Why Choose the Breast QTscan?

1. Painless, Compression-Free Experience
   Unlike traditional mammograms, this innovative scanner uses low-frequency sound waves to create true 3D images without painful compression or radiation exposure.
2. Designed for Dense Breast Tissue
   With 50% of women in the U.S. having dense breast tissue, the QTscan™ provides superior imaging accuracy, ensuring earlier detection and better outcomes.
3. Radiation-Free and Safe for Younger Women
   This technology is FDA-cleared for dense breast imaging. It offers a safe alternative for women under 40, who are often not recommended for routine mammograms due to radiation risks.
4. High-Definition, True 3D Imaging
   The QTscan™ delivers sub-millimeter resolution with precise, reproducible results that help monitor breast health over time.
5. Reducing Anxiety and False Alarms
   This advanced imaging system minimizes unnecessary callbacks, reducing emotional distress and avoiding unwarranted interventions like biopsies.

Benefits of the Breast QTscan

• No Radiation: Ensures safety during routine screenings.
• Painless: No compression, creating a more comfortable patient experience.
• Accurate for All Breast Sizes: Operator-independent imaging ensures consistent quality.
• Enhanced Detection: Superior sensitivity and specificity compared to traditional mammography.
• Affordable and Accessible: A cost-efficient option for patients seeking state-of-the-art imaging.

• Patients seeking a more comfortable imaging experience without the pain of compression.

What to Expect During Your Breast QTscan

At the Couri Center, we strive to ensure your experience with the Breast QTscan™ is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Here’s what you can expect during your appointment:

Before Your Exam

• Arrival and Preparation: You will be guided to a private imaging room where our staff will explain the procedure and answer any questions. No special preparation is needed before your exam.
• Comfortable Clothing: You may be asked to remove clothing from the waist and wear a gown provided for the exam.

During Your Exam

1. Positioning:
   • You will lie face down on a comfortable, padded table designed specifically for the Breast QTscan™.
   • Your breast will gently lower into a warm, water-filled chamber, which helps capture high-resolution 3D images.
2. No Compression or Pain:
   • Unlike mammograms, there is no breast compression, making this exam completely painless.
3. Scan Process:
   • Low-frequency sound waves will create detailed images of your breast tissue.
   • Each breast is scanned individually, which takes approximately 10–20 minutes, depending on breast size.
4. Relaxing Environment:
   • The process is quiet, non-invasive, and designed with your comfort in mind. Many patients describe the experience as calming and easy.

After Your Exam & Results

• Image Review: A radiologist will review the images, and a detailed report will be emailed via our secure patient portal, generally in 2-weeks.
