(1) As used in this section, "dense breast tissue" means heterogeneously dense tissue or extremely dense tissue as defined in the Breast Imaging and Reporting Data System established by the American College of Radiology.
(2) A facility that is certified under Section 26-21a-204 shall include the following notification and information with a mammography result provided to a patient with dense breast tissue: "Your mammogram indicates that you have dense breast tissue. Dense breast tissue is common and is found in as many as half of all women. However, dense breast tissue can make it more difficult to fully and accurately evaluate your mammogram and detect early signs of possible cancer in the breast. This information is being provided to inform and encourage you to discuss your dense breast tissue and other breast cancer risk factors with your health care provider. Together, you can decide what may be best for you. A copy of your mammography report has been sent to your health care provider. Please contact them if you have any questions or concerns about this notice."
