QT Imaging Inks Distribution Deal With Gulf Medical for Saudi Arabia

QT Imaging Holdings, Inc. (QTI) has forged an exclusive distribution agreement with Gulf Medical Co. (GMC) in Saudi Arabia for dissemination of the QTI Breast Acoustic CT scanners.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration-cleared QTI Breast Acoustic CT scanner is touted as the first non-invasive breast imaging technology that provides a true 3D image of the breast anatomy without compression, contrast administration, or harmful ionizing radiation. The company also recently unveiled its ongoing strategic initiative to build the QTI Cloud Platform, designed to transform breast health through imaging intelligence. Utilizing a tiered Software as a Service (SaaS) delivery model, the QTI Cloud Platform provides subscribers with access to artificial intelligence (AI)-driven tools that automate findings classification and deliver consistent second-read decision support.

Under the distribution agreement’s terms, GMC will be the exclusive distributor of QTI Breast Acoustic CT scanners and user subscriptions to the QTI Cloud Platform in Saudi Arabia. The agreement provides for minimum order quantities of five scanners per quarter, starting in the first quarter of 2026, through the end of 2028, for a total minimum of 60 scanners and revenue of more than $33 million.

QTI breast imaging technology provides a solution for younger women and is well suited to detect genetic predispositions, particularly BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, which significantly contribute to the increased incidence of breast cancer in Saudi Arabia. Studies have reported a higher prevalence of BRCA mutations among Saudi Arabian women with breast cancer compared to other populations, suggesting a unique genetic susceptibility within this group.¹ A large proportion of breast cancer cases in Saudi Arabia occur among women aged 40 to 59 years, underscoring the need for targeted awareness campaigns and screening initiatives to promote early detection and improve prognoses.

“We are excited to have GMC as our exclusive distributor in Saudi Arabia,” QTI CEO Dr. Raluca Dinu said. “Successfully marketing and distributing a technology like the QTI Breast Acoustic CT scanner requires a deep understanding of regional market dynamics and the specific needs of clinicians and patients. With GMC’s proven track record in introducing advanced medical technologies, we are confident they are the ideal partner.”

Gulf Medical Co. was founded in 1983 to bring innovative medical solutions to the Middle East. It is owned by Al-Naghi Group since 1911 and it serves the medical field in different product lines, bringing many firsts in medical solutions to the region.

QT Imaging Holdings Inc. is a public medical device company engaged in research, development, and commercialization of body imaging systems using low frequency sound waves.
