Dense Breast Treatment and Law


In a woman, there are always stays high chances of having a dense breast. According to a survey, 27 million of the women in the USA suffers from the dense breast.
It can be seen in mammogram which refers to a high amount of dense tissue in comparison to the fatty tissue. There are several surgeries and treatments are being done for the dense breast. Such as:-

Mammography: Mammography is a procedure in which the doctor uses a machine named ‘Mammogram’ which sends x-rays pictures of the breast, which ultimately helps the doctor to find the early dense breast tissues.

3D-Mammography: 3-D Mammography works the same way as the Mammography does, but it gives a 3-D image of the breast which helps the doctor have a detailed view of the dense breast.

Breast Ultrasound: If the breast density is high? Or the doctor would have found any lump and abnormalities in the breast? Then ultrasound is being considered as a first choice. This process has been done with the help of sound waves. 

What is dense breast law?
On 28th March, the FDA has announced important new steps to modernize breast cancer screening and help empower patients with information when they are considering important decisions regarding their breast health care. The amendment includes the requirement of breast density reporting to both patients and referring health providers. DB-I has analysed the proposed language and submitted comments to the FDA during the designated “open for public comment” period.
