Reviews from Our Supporters

This technology will save lives. Full stop. I encourage everyone to join Koning in it’s march to revolutionize the healthcare industry and save the lives of millions of women through early imaging and detection of a preventable and treatable disease that claims the lives of too many each and every year.

My job as a breast imaging radiologist is to find and diagnose breast cancer at its earliest and most treatable stage. We have many tools at our disposal, many of them currently have significant limitations. Koning’s revolutionary dedicated breast CT imaging device has the potential to deliver a paradigm shift to the world of breast imaging. This new tool allows for compression-free, pain-free imaging that is not only more comfortable for the patient but offers superior image quality due to truly 3-dimensional imaging. Conventional mammography (including tomosynthesis) represents 2-dimensional imaging with stitched-together projectional data. With CT, the cancer has nowhere to hide. I am excited to help improve the quality and comfort of breast imaging in this country.

As a fellowship trained breast radiologist, practicing in independent and hospital-based breast centers for the past twenty years, I am someone who values the amazing screening and diagnostic capabilities of mammography, tomosynthesis, high quality ultrasound, and MRI to find and diagnose early breast cancer. Despite that, my experience has always dictated that none of those techniques are capable of being the “ideal” tool for doing my job.

Whether it is the vagueness of mammography images, problems with tissue overlap, the time involved in performing quality whole breast ultrasound, or the time consuming and costly nature involved in performing and reading breast MRI, our current methods offer many challenges to breast radiologists. For the patients, all of us are well aware of the complaints of patients regarding mammography compression or lack of comfort for time consuming MRI’s.

When I first became aware of the Koning breast CT several years ago, it certainly piqued my interest whether this tool would fill the void. I have followed the technology advances over the years and when I was first able to start seeing real patient images (not just promotional images at a conference), I started to see the power of this technology. It combines the strength and resolution of mammography with the power of being able to see and correlate all areas of the breast in TRUE three dimension (unlike the pseudo 3D tomosynthesis) along with the functional enhancement information in contrast mode to provide a tool unlike anything we have utilized in the past.

I truly believe that this will be the future of our specialty.

First off, WOW. It’s pretty amazing to see the quality of the images. At worst, the images are a major improvement on tomo images. At best, they are so much easier to look at and read than an MRI and better quality. So, yes, they live up to the hype.

The real advantage to your images are that it is a true 3d data set and the ability to see sagittal, axial and coronal images in full resolution simultaneously along with a MIP makes it very powerful.

It was a great experience! I highly recommend it. Very comfortable, easy and pain-free process

Finally someone cared enough about what we women go through to make a change!

I invested because my wife and female friends say mammograms can be uncomfortable and sometimes painful. The uncomfortable and painful issue is why some women don’t get mammograms as often as they should. I believe this device will definitely change the game for women and how they feel about getting mammograms in the future.

I’m an advocate for women’s health. Taking the pain out of the process of receiving a mammogram may help more women to take advantage of breast imaging that could save their lives, health, or esteem. My wife also approves!

I invested because it’s time, we get rid of breast cancer. Women are the foundation of society. We need our women to live a long and healthy life and be the bearers of humanity and civilization, as we cross the frontiers of science.

Because I’m a breast cancer survivor. The mammograms and ultrasounds did not detect my cancer. This project seems like one that is more woman friendly and better for detection.

High-resolution CT imaging of the breast would seem to be an affordable alternative to MRI with (likely) easier access for patients. I would anticipate rapid adoption by insurers based on cost savings and it would appear as though it is a more comfortable option for women compared to compression imaging. I can’t wait to see how this develops in the years to come.

My wife found your technology very appealing, and I was impressed with your government approvals, and the fact that you have already deployed machines. Excellent presentation, too. I may increase investment before it closes.

I’m a 6.5 year BC survivor and a patient at EWBC, one of the places where the KBCT was tested out. I have much faith in the work done at EWBC and the U of R.

Too many women in my life have suffered the effects of breast cancer. And I’ve heard many more complain about the discomfort of traditional mammograms. This no compression, 3-D machine has the potential to be a game changer.
– Anonymous, Republic Supporter
This technology seems like a real step forward compared to current one in use.

I hate having my breast smashed but I still get it done & I have breast cancer survivors in my family so it was a no brainer for me.
– Myisha White, Republic Supporter

I invested because I have four daughters and four young granddaughters. The #1 complaint about mammograms are that they hurt from the pressure. I have never talked with a woman who didn’t complain about the testing procedure. This is a great answer to a common complaint. I am investing on behalf of the woman in my family. Thank you!
