Why Breast Imaging Matters
50%
50% of women have dense breasts, placing them at increased risk of breast cancer.

2024
This year, more than 250,000 U.S. Women will be diagnosed with breast cancer.
80%
80% of callback biopsies are benign. A goal of QT is to decrease the number of unnecessary biopsies by identifying benign cysts and micro calcifications in the screening phase.
35%
35% of women aged 40–70 do not get screened and may have the risk of having breast cancer.
65%
Of the 65% of women who do get screened, many suffer through unnecessary callbacks.

The Dense Breast Challenge
Conventional breast imaging modalities, such as mammography, face tremendous challenges when imaging dense breast tissue, which puts women with dense breasts – nearly half the female population – at an immediate disadvantage. This is because cancer can appear similar to regular breast tissue and if there is a lot of breast tissue (such as in the case of dense breasts), the cancer can ‘hide’. Our QT technology has the ability to image through dense breasts, and our ongoing clinical trials aim to confirm how the QTscan can effectively detect suspicious regions. Our case studies show high contrast breast images with no injections and no radiation.
Frequently Asked Questions
You can schedule your scan online by calling the office hotline.
The QT scan is available to women of all ages who are interested in evaluating breast health.
No. We are offering the scan to women without a referral.
No. We are offering this revolutionary technology to all interested women, whether or not they are patients in our functional medicine practice.
A screening scan is for women without symptoms or a history of breast disease.
A diagnostic scan is for women with a history of cancer or any current breast symptoms.
A follow up scan is a short-interval follow-up (6 months or less) for following questionable areas seen on an original scan.
The actual scanning process is the same for screening and diagnostic scans. The difference is the amount of time it takes the radiologist to interpret and the need to include previous scans.
At Qlarity Breast Imaging-Crystal Lake, we do not charge a different amount for screening versus diagnostic scans ($525). We charge a reduced amount for follow-up scans ($150).
A screening or diagnostic scan is $525
A follow-up scan is $150 (this is a short-term follow-up from a recent scan with a specific issue)
The scans are analyzed by a radiologist with special training in breast MRI and QT Technology imaging.
The results will be delivered to you online in the portal within 1 week of your scan.
The technology is so sophisticated that if your results are normal and you are at average risk, you can wait 2 years for a repeat scan. If you are at high risk, annual screening is recommended.
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.
You will have access to the report on the portal and can either print a copy or e-send it directly to your doctor.
This is an excellent test for women with dense breasts.
This test is not cleared for pregnant women.
Breast feeding is not a contraindication to a QT scan. However, unless you have a specific concern, it may be better to wait until you are done breast feeding, as the breast tissue varies quite a lot during breast feeding.
Because there is no compression, the QT scan is an excellent choice for women with implants. There is no risk of implant rupture with a QT scan.
The QT scan is not considered by the FDA or the general medical establishment to be a replacement for a mammogram.
We recommend showering the night before or the morning of your scan. Please do not use lotion, powder, or any other products on your breasts. If you have open sores or wounds on your breasts, we will need to reschedule your appointment until it heals.

The Future of Breast Imaging – What is QT Imaging?
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 has the ability to systematically strip away normal tissues to expose an underlying mass deep within the dense breast tissue.
Because the QTscan has such advanced, high-quality imaging it can benefit women with dense breasts, those who need additional, follow-up imaging after a mammogram, or want the assurance and peace of mind due to a family history of breast cancer or genetic predisposition to breast cancer.
Most traditional breast imaging technologies take pictures of your breasts in 2-dimensional views, or use those 2D views to reconstruct an approximation of 3D images. A QTscan captures the third dimension in a real sense. It does so by using both reflection and transmission modalities. These direct speed-of-sound measurements have the potential to discriminate between different types of tissue.
Whether you have dense breasts, breast implants or simply want the assurance of follow-up imaging, a safe, compression-free QTscan™ is now available to you through Qlarity Breast Imaging at Vitality Renewal Functional Medicine..
You do not need a referral or to become a member of our clinic to book your appointment. We offer this service a la carte to benefit our community and improve women’s breast health.
