Our Story

About Artemis Imaging

Pioneering precision breast CT in Houston — accessible, compression-free, and built for the women who deserve better than the status quo.

Our Story

Born from a mission to make precision imaging accessible

Artemis Imaging was founded by Jonathan and Lesley Gulde after years working inside the healthcare system — and witnessing firsthand how often women left imaging appointments with more anxiety than clarity. Compression-based mammography, limited 2D views, and unclear results weren't good enough for a community with real diagnostic needs.

Jonathan's background spans the United States Marine Corps, emergency medicine, clinical coordination, and life sciences. Lesley's career is rooted in clinical operations, provider credentialing, and healthcare quality programs. Together, they built Artemis around a single premise: if the technology exists to image the breast without compression, in true 3D, with submillimeter lesion detection — it should be available to every woman who needs it, regardless of insurance status.

Located in Katy, Texas on the Grand Parkway 99 corridor, Artemis is the first Koning Vera Breast CT center in the Houston market. Pricing is transparent, flat, and self-pay. No prior authorization. No compression. No compromise.

Why We Exist

Houston Has a Gap

Harris County has among the highest uninsured rates in the country. Advanced breast imaging shouldn't be gated by insurance status or prior authorization delays.

Dense Tissue Deserves Better

40–50% of women have dense breast tissue. Traditional mammography is limited in dense tissue. KBCT sees through it, delivering true volumetric 3D clarity.

Comfort Is Non-Negotiable

60–70% of women experience moderate to severe pain during standard mammography. Pain avoidance causes scan delays — delays that cost lives. We eliminate that barrier entirely.

Transparent Pricing

One flat fee. No insurance billing, no facility fees, no surprise interpretation charges. Payment plans from $25/week. Clear before you book.

Jonathan Gulde

Chief Executive Officer

Jonathan Gulde is the majority owner and Chief Executive Officer of Artemis Imaging, bringing a uniquely diverse background in healthcare, emergency response, military leadership, technical fields, and business management that positions him to lead the company through growth and a complex healthcare landscape. His career began with an eight-year tenure in the United States Marine Corps as a Sergeant of Marines, specializing in advanced aircraft communications, navigation, electrical, and weapon systems for CH-46 and MV-22 aircraft, where he installed, maintained, and repaired complex avionics and electronic countermeasures. Jonathan was one of only 30 Marines selected from across the Marine Corps to work with Bell and Boeing engineers to redesign the MV-22 after several fatal crashes during the OPEVAL and OT-IIF special missions between 2000 and 2007, earning the Navy/Marine Corps Achievement Medal and the Meritorious Unit Commendation for this work.

Lesley Gulde

Chief Operating Officer

Lesley Gulde, Chief Operating Officer and co-owner, has been deeply immersed in clinical healthcare operations since her teens, working alongside Jonathan in clinic environments from age 15 while completing her high school education through homeschooling so she could balance hands-on clinical training with academic requirements. This early and continuous exposure gave her practical experience in clinical workflows, patient interaction, and healthcare business management and laid the foundation for her current leadership role.
