\n\u201cBuilding a direct U.S. commercial organization is an important step in QT Imaging\u2019s evolution into a scalable precision imaging platform,\u201d said Satrajit Misra, QT Imaging\u2019s Chief Commercial Officer. \u201cJason and Dave bring tremendous experience in breast imaging and surgical oncology, established relationships across major healthcare systems, and proven records of introducing innovative medical technologies into complex clinical care environments.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWorking directly with breast imaging centers, clinicians and enterprise health systems will provide a better understanding of their clinical, operational and economic priorities, support evidence generation and physician education, and develop a more direct pathway for adoption of our technology,\u201d he added. \u201cWe value our relationship with NXC Imaging and will continue to work collaboratively as we build the internal capabilities to support our next phase of growth.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThese hires support the Company\u2019s evolution from a distributor-led sales model toward an integrated commercial model that enhances QT Imaging\u2019s gross margin, direct ownership of customer engagement, strategic account development, clinical education and market development. QT Imaging will continue to work collaboratively with NXC Imaging, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon Medical Systems USA, Inc., under the existing distribution arrangement.<\/p>\n
\nQT Imaging\u2019s commercial team will focus on developing relationships with leading medical centers and clinical stakeholders, assessing customer needs and establishing the infrastructure to support the Company\u2019s longer-term U.S. commercialization strategy. Based on initial success and market feedback, QT Imaging may selectively add further commercial resources in 2027.<\/p>\n
