228: Beyond the Mammogram: Why QT Imaging is Changing Breast Health Part 1

I am excited to have Dr. Yvonne Karney with me for a two-part series focused on breast imaging options and the importance of informed consent.

In Part 1 today, we discuss the limitations of current breast screening options and how to protect yourself if you choose to get mammograms or MRIs. We also introduce you to QT Imaging, which is the future of breast imaging.

Benefits of early detection:

It allows for procedures like lumpectomy instead of extensive surgery
Early-stage cancers often require less chemotherapy or radiation
Detecting cancer early generally improves the chance of recovery and survival
Smaller interventions preserve appearance and more tissue
Early treatment can be quicker, simpler, and less traumatic
