Breast Imaging Statistics– Why Change is Needed!

250%

It is estimated that 250,000 women in the US will get diagnosed with breast cancer this year.

35%

35% of women in the US do not get mammograms. Without screening, they are missing out on the chance for early detection.

50%

Almost 50% of women have dense breasts, placing them at increased risk of breast cancer.

50%

Mammograms miss up to 50% of breast cancers in women with dense breasts.

80%

80% of callback biopsies are benign. A goal of the QT Scan is to reduce the number of biopsies by identifying benign cysts and calcifications during the initial scan.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Book A Scan?
Who can book a QT scan?
Do I need a referral to have a scan done?
Do I need to become a patient at Vitality Renewal to have a scan?
What’s the difference between a screening, diagnostic and follow-up scan?
A SCREENING scan is for a woman who:

Has no significant breast concerns

Reports they are here for screening;

They may have an increased lifetime risk of breast cancer (family history or genetic issue) but as long as they’ve never had an abnormal biopsy

Breast implants can still be considered screening as long as meet other criteria

A DIAGNOSTIC scan will be defined as a scan done on a woman who

Has breast-related symptoms like

Breast lump, skin or nipple change, or other breast complaint

Cyclic breast tenderness or generalized tenderness of life-long duration does NOT count as symptomatic

Known breast cancer current or past

Prior abnormal pathology on breast biopsy:

Atypia, hyperplasia, cancer

Fibroadenoma is NOT abnormal pathology

If they don’t know the pathology then will need a diagnostic scan

Requires interpretation and correlation with outside breast images (including mammograms, handheld ultrasound, automated breast ultrasound, breast thermography and breast MRI patient)

Desires a “second opinion” regarding confirmation of findings from other medical providers or breast consultants

A FOLLOW-UP scan is one recommended by interpreting radiologist in lieu of a breast biopsy. Must be performed at same facility and within 6 months of original scan.
How much does the scan cost?
Who reads the scan?
How long does it take to get results and how do I get them?
What if my results are normal?

What if my results are abnormal?

If there is a concern on your scan, the radiologist will make a recommendation for either:

Biopsy. This is if there’s enough concern that it is cancerous. Some specialists will require a mammogram prior to doing a biopsy. We hope this changes as QT imaging gets more exposure.

Short-interval follow-up to evaluate doubling time. This is an excellent feature of QT. Doubling time can be used to help determine if the lesion is truly serious. Agressive cancer replicates quickly, with a short doubling time, whereas benign lesions and non-aggressive cancers have a longer time. Using doubling time can help avoid unnecessary biopsies, as well as overdiagnosis and overtreatment of very slow growing cancers.

If your results require a biopsy we will advise you to follow up with a breast surgeon. We will provide you with options for this consultation.
How can I share them with my General Practitioner?
What if I have dense breasts?
Can Pregnant women get the procedure done?
