Breast Density Notification Laws - Nebraska
Recipient: All patients receive notice of density classification; patients with dense breasts receive below information.
Notification text: “Your mammogram indicates that you have dense breast tissue. Dense breast tissue is a normal finding that is present in about forty percent of women. Dense breast tissue can make it more difficult to detect cancer on a mammogram and may be associated with a slightly increased risk for breast cancer. This information is provided to raise your awareness of the impact of breast density on cancer detection and to encourage you to discuss this issue, as well as other breast cancer risk factors, with your health care provider as you decide together which screening options may be right for you."
Facilities are given the option to update this language as long as it continues to notify patients about the frequency of dense breast tissue and its effect on the accuracy of mammograms and encourage patients to discuss the issue with their health care provider.
Legislation: LB 195
Could a Deep Learning Model for Mammography Improve Prediction of DCIS and Invasive Breast Cancer?
April 15th 2024Artificial intelligence (AI) assessment of mammography images may significantly enhance the prediction of invasive breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in women with breast cancer, according to new research presented at the Society for Breast Imaging (SBI) conference.
Mammography-Based AI Abnormality Scoring May Improve Prediction of Invasive Upgrade of DCIS
April 9th 2024Emerging research suggests that an artificial intelligence (AI) score of 75 or greater for mammography abnormalities more than doubles the likelihood of invasive upgrade of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) diagnosed with percutaneous biopsy.
Mammography Study: AI Improves Breast Cancer Detection and Reduces Reading Time with DBT
April 3rd 2024An emerging artificial intelligence (AI) model demonstrated more than 12 percent higher specificity and reduced image reading time by nearly six seconds in comparison to unassisted radiologist interpretation of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) images.
