Today is World Dense Breast Day—a day dedicated to raising awareness about the impact of breast density on cancer detection and women's health. Nearly 50% of women over 40 have dense breasts, which can make detecting cancer with standard mammograms more difficult. This is why understanding your breast density is crucial. At Assured Imaging, LLC - a Rezolut company, we offer advanced screening options like 3D mammography and dense breast ultrasounds to improve detection accuracy. Additionally, with new FDA requirements, all mammogram reports must now include breast density information, making it easier than ever to understand your risk. Need to schedule your mammo? Call us at 888-233-6121. Let’s take this opportunity to spread awareness about breast density and encourage all women to talk to their healthcare providers about the best screening options for them.

Did you know that nearly 50% of women have dense breast tissue? 💡 This doubles the risk of breast cancer, and more importantly, it makes early detection more challenging than traditional imaging methods. With the new FDA mandate issued on September 10, 2024, healthcare providers are now required to inform women if they have dense breasts. This is a game-changer because traditional mammograms can miss up to 70% of lesions in dense breast tissue! At iSono Health, we’re dedicated to empowering women with the knowledge and tools they need to take control of their health. Dense breast tissue is a significant risk factor, and knowing your risks can help you and your doctor find the right solutions to ensure cancer doesn’t go undetected. We envision a future where advanced, reproducible technologies—like the ones we're developing—enable clinicians to provide more personalized and proactive care. Ladies, if you have dense breasts, now is the time to ask your provider about the best imaging options available. Knowledge is power. Stay informed and take charge of your health! 🌟 #BreastHealth #DenseBreasts #BreastCancerAwareness #iSonoHealth #ATUSA #AIUltrasound #WomensHealth

Today is a significant day for women’s breast health! 🎉 Starting today, September 10, 2024, mammography facilities are required to inform patients whether their breasts are classified as "dense" or "not dense." If you receive a report indicating dense breasts, it's essential to follow up with your healthcare provider to discuss further imaging options like ultrasound or MRI. This new regulation empowers women to take control of their breast health and ensure they get the screenings they need! 💪💗 I interviewed Dr. Robin Seitzman from DenseBreast-Info.org, who explained that having dense breasts increases both the risk of developing breast cancer and the possibility of cancer being hidden on a mammogram. Take charge of your health by understanding your mammogram results and seeking additional screenings if necessary.

"The biggest takeaway point of our study is that annual screening beginning at 40 and continuing to at least age 79 gives the highest mortality reduction, the most cancer deaths averted, and the most years of life gained.” A newly published study in Radiology Business provides further confirmation of why it is so important for women to consistently get an annual mammogram beginning at age 40.

Did you know that about 40% of women aged 40+ have dense breast tissue? Dense breasts make cancer detection more challenging, and more than 70% of breast cancers occur in patients with dense tissue. This #WorldDenseBreastDay, we’re raising awareness of breast density and dense breast as a risk factor for breast cancer. Awareness and education are crucial in ensuring women have access to comprehensive breast care.     Automated breast ultrasound (ABUS), a standardized, supplemental examination and increases the detection rate of breast cancer specifically in dense breasts. Invenia™ ABUS transforms breast care from reactive to proactive, offering personalized breast care for early detection and confident diagnoses.     Learn more about the new U.S. breast density reporting standard and dense breasts in cancer screening and detection: https://lnkd.in/g3P-U-rJ   #DenseBreast #BreastCancerAwareness #BreastUltrasound #Ultrasound #BreastCancer 

A Landmark Victory for Women’s Health: Understanding Dense Breast Tissue and Your Breast Cancer Risk We are excited to celebrate a pivotal moment in #WomensHealth with the FDA's recent update to the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA). This new mandate ensures that women in all 50 states will now be informed if their mammograms reveal "DENSE" breast tissue, empowering them to take charge of their breast health. So, what does having "dense" breast tissue mean? Imagine spotting a specific cloud on a particularly cloudy day—it’s a challenge because everything looks so similar. Dense breast tissue poses a similar problem for mammograms: it has more milk ducts and glands relative to fatty tissue, and since both appear white on a mammogram, detecting cancer becomes much more complicated. Here’s what you need to know if you have dense breast tissue: - Dense tissue women are at least 2 times more likely to develop breast cancer - Detecting cancer on your mammogram can be more difficult. - An additional breast imaging study might be necessary to ensure that no hidden cancers go unnoticed. - Remarkably, a higher percentage of breast cancers are found in women with dense breast tissue. This FDA mandate marks a significant victory in ensuring that women are better informed about their risks and options, starting with a mammogram and considering further imaging if needed. We celebrate this milestone and remain dedicated to advancing technology that enhances early detection and supports women in making informed choices for their health. #WomensHealth #BreastCancerAwareness #DenseBreastTissue #EarlyDetection #iSonoHealt #FinditEarlyAct Susan G Koman Foundation Brem Foundation to Defeat Breast Cancer DeepLook Medical Neda Razavi, MBAAlly Parnes, M.D. https://lnkd.in/gZukdyHS

🌸 New FDA Guidelines on Breast Density Starting in September 2024 🌸 Starting this month, the FDA will begin requiring mammogram facilities to inform patients about their breast density status—a significant update in women’s healthcare. Here’s why this is critical: ✨ Dense breast tissue can make it harder to detect cancer through mammograms. ✨ Women with dense breasts face a slightly higher risk of breast cancer. ✨ This new regulation empowers women to make more informed decisions about their breast health. Knowing your breast density status allows for informed discussions with your healthcare provider about additional screening options like 3D mammograms, ultrasound, or MRI. 🗣️ Take control of your breast health—ask questions, get the facts, and be proactive! #BreastDensity #FDAUpdate #BreastHealth #WomenInHealth #BreastCancerAwareness #Mammograms #DenseBreasts #CancerPrevention #HealthcareUpdates #MedicalNews #PatientEducation #WomenWellness #LIFTafterBreastCancer #communitysupport

Cheers to Progress! Women Across the U.S. Are Getting the Information We Deserve About Dense Breast Tissue. Ladies, the day has finally come! The FDA’s recent update to the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) is a win for women everywhere. Now, no matter where you live, if your mammogram reveals “DENSE” breast tissue, you’ll be notified. This is huge—because knowing you have dense breast tissue means understanding your risk for breast cancer is 4-6 times higher. That’s the information we all need. But let’s be real—spotting cancer in dense tissue can be like trying to find a snowflake in a snowstorm—everything looks the same. That’s why this update is so crucial. With the majority of breast cancers found in women with dense tissue, this info could be a lifesaver. Now, let’s hope the payors step up and cover the additional imaging we might need. Here’s to better information and better health!
