Breast Density Awareness Lags Laws

1/29/2015

Picture
Like many states, California recently enacted a breast density notification law (April 1, 2013). In the 10 months following the law's implementation, less than half of California primary care physicians were aware of the legislation.

The study, conducted by Dr. Kathleen Khong from the University of California, Davis, is reported on AuntMinnie and shows the level of communication necessary to assure all women in a state benefit from breast density notification laws. 

Of course, Connecticut is ahead of the curve, having enacted notification in 2009. New York enacted theirs in 2013, Rhode Island in 2014, and Massachusetts on January 1, 2015. It's clear that all of us in the imaging community have a role in educating and information physicians and patients alike.
