You may have heard about QT breast imaging, a newer technology that uses sound waves to create breast images without compression or radiation. While the concept is promising and research is ongoing, itโs important to know that QT screening has not yet been proven to replace or match the effectiveness of mammography for routine breast cancer screening.

New technologies often generate excitement, and innovation in imaging is always welcome. But until long-term clinical studies demonstrate the same level of effectiveness, mammograms remain the most reliable screening tool available today.
If you have questions about breast cancer screening or whatโs appropriate for your individual risk, talk with your healthcare provider about the screening plan thatโs right for you.
