mail address, the summary shall be sent by electronic mail. If the
facility determines that a patient has heterogeneously or extremely
dense breast tissue, the summary of the mammography report shall
include the following n otice:
"Your mammogram indicates that you have dense breast tissue.
Dense breast tissue is common and is fo und in more than fifty
percent (50%) of women and is not abnormal. However, dense breast
tissue may make it more difficult to detect breast cancer and may be
associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. This
information is being provided to raise your awareness and to
encourage you and your health care provider to discuss this and
other breast cancer risk factors. Together, you and your heal th
care provider can decide if additional screening options may be
right for you. A report of your results was sent to your health
care provider."
"Breast tissue can be either dense or not dense. Dense tissue
makes it harder to find breast cancer on a ma mmogram and also raises
the risk of developing breast cancer. Your breast tissue is dense.
In some people with dense tissue, other imaging tests in addition to
a mammogram may help find cancers. Talk to your health care
provider about breast density, ri sks for breast cancer, and your
individual situation. "
B. Patients who receive diagnostic or screening mamm ograms may
be directed to informative material about breast density. This
