Okla. Stat. tit. 63, § 63-1-553.1: Mammography reports – Breast density classification

A. All health care facilities that perform mammography

examinations shall include in the summary of the mammography report,

required by federal law to be provided to a patient, information

that identifies the patient's individual breast density

classification as dense or not dense. If the patient elects to

receive the summary of the mammography report by electronic mail and

provides an electronic mail address, the summary shall be sent by

electronic mail. If the facility determines that a patient has

heterogeneously or extremely dense breast tissue, the summary of the

mammography report shall include the following notice:

"Breast tissue can be either dense or not dense. Dense tissue

makes it harder to find breast cancer on a mammogram and also raises

the risk of developing breast cancer. Your breast tissue is dense.

In some people with dense tissue, other imaging tests in addition to

a mammogram may help find cancers. Talk to your health care

provider about breast density, risks for breast cancer, and your

individual situation."

B. Patients who receive diagnostic or screening mammograms may

be directed to informative material about breast density. This

informative material may include the American College of Radiology's

most current brochure on the subject of breast density available on

the American College of Radiology's website. Patients and health

care providers can be further informed by material from the American

Cancer Society or Mammography Saves Lives organizations.

C. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to create a duty of

care or other legal obligation beyond the duty to provide notice as

set forth in subsection A of this section. Nothing in this section

shall be deemed to require a notice that is inconsistent with the

provisions of the federal Mammography Quality Standards Act or any

regulations promulgated pursuant thereto.
