Ultrasound Breast Imaging Center Opens In Walnut Creek

WALNUT CREEK, CA – If having your breasts squished pancake-thin for a mammogram has you skipping routine diagnostic exams, you may be interested in a new breast imaging center that opened in Walnut Creek on Monday. QTbreasthealth uses ultrasound instead of radiation. The ultrasound 3D breast imaging also involves no compression and no injections.

Patients will receive results via phone or teleconference with a board-certified physician within 72 hours.

This is the second QTbreasthealth center in the Bay Area, following the opening of the organization’s Novato center in August.

"With all that we’ve done in such a short time in our Novato location, we’re excited to bring this incredible technology to the East Bay," said Dotty Bollinger, Chief Executive Officer, QTbreasthealth. "We believe our technology is an evolution in breast imaging, and we’re now able to reach more women than ever before through this expansion."

QT Ultrasound has received FDA clearance for its breast imaging system, but QTbreasthealth emphasizes, the QTscan is not intended as a replacement for mammography. However, they report that the image is more detailed than mammography or handheld ultrasound.

"Breast cancer impacts all races, religions, body types and ages, which means early detection and regular breast imaging is incredibly important for all women," Bollinger said. "The QTscan has the clarity to see what other methods may miss, and our centers provide a comfortable, compassionate setting when women need it the most."

QTbreasthealth is located at 2970 Camino Diablo in Walnut Creek.
