On October 15, 2026, breast imaging platform BeSound opened its NYC flagship location in Flatiron, introducing FDA-approved 3D automated breast ultrasound scans combined with an AI layer.
Flagship Opening in Manhattan
BeSound opened its flagship location in Flatiron on October 15, 2026, as part of plans to scale nationally. Women can book appointments online without a referral, receiving results within 24 to 48 hours for a scan that avoids compression, radiation, and contrast dye.
Technology and AI Integration
The scans are performed using the Invenia ABUS system, manufactured by GE HealthCare. According to BeSound, the system captures a standardized, full-volume 3D image designed to assist physicians in dense breast tissue where standard mammography may miss cancers.
BeSound is developing an AI layer trained on structured imaging data to help physicians read scans faster and track tissue changes over time. Bailey Renger, founder and CEO of BeSound, stated that AI is designed to give physicians a sharper view rather than replace them.
Future Plans and Availability
By the end of 2026, BeSound expects to offer insurance-covered scans through multiple payers in New York and expanding markets, alongside a mobile van and employer partnerships.
BeSound emphasized that it supports current screening guidelines and does not recommend replacing mammography for eligible women.
