“Koning Breast CT is a true 3D dimensional image of the breast. The detector is surrounding the woman’s breast, and so the cancers have no where to hide in the breast. There’s no way for over lapping tissue to be in the way from every angle.”

– Etta Pisano, MD

The ability to find cancer earlier is greatly improved. Dramatic improvements are seen in dense breast tissue, breasts that have undergone surgery or radiation has been performed, in augmented breasts and improved visualization in small breasts as well as breast cancer in males which are incredibly challenging to image on standard devices now. This technology is the only system to offer true 3D imaging like standard CT or MRI imaging provides.

The KBCT is “a real paradigm shift in breast imaging.” This advancement is as significant as CT was in comparison to standard film imaging 44 years ago. A major benefit is that the imaging is produced without painful compression. One of the leading Radiologist on the FDA study noted that “cancer can no longer hide with this technology.” This will greatly enhance our ability to find cancers in dense breast tissue where we miss 35% now. This offers significant improvement in defining advanced cancers with Contrast Enhancement that effectively enhance visualization of tumors.

Here are helpful links to facilitate communication regarding this new technology in medical breast imaging:
