Breast Density and Connecticut, USA

31.12.13 / Breast Density / Author: admin

In the USA, a law was passed in 2009 in Connecticut related to notifying women of their breast density based on their mammograms.  Physicians are required to send a letter.  Other USA states have also passed similar legislation.

This is a tricky area, as density is only one factor that should be taken into account by women in regards to any decisions made.
