229: Beyond the Mammogram: Why QT Imaging is Changing Breast Health Part 2


Listen Later

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

Last week, we discussed the limitations of current breast screening options. Today, in Part 2, we outline the future of breast imaging, beyond mammograms, to explore QT imaging and its impact on breast health.

How to be proactive about your breast screening options:

  • Ask your provider to explain all available imaging choices- not just mammograms
  • Consider your personal comfort, risk tolerance, and medical history when making a choice
  • Think about whether you would prefer to avoid unnecessary procedures (like biopsies) or prioritize immediate detection
  • If your provider will not answer your questions, find one who will. Informed consent is your right.
  • Yvonne Karney's Bio:

    Yvonne Karney is a medical doctor, traditionally-trained in gynecology, and a former United States Air Force physician who converted to integrative medicine when she realized she didn't have the right tools to help her patients achieve true health. 

    She is the founder of Vitality Renewal Functional Medicine in the Chicago suburbs, where her newest venture is revolutionizing breast imaging by offering an option with the image quality of MRI, WITHOUT radiation, IV contrast, or painful compression. 

    She's on a mission to give women options for breast imaging and educate them about the risks and benefits of the current breast cancer screening recommendations.
