Introduction

Here’s proof that our catchphrase, “Medicine Moves Fast“ is 100% true! On October 30, 2022, and again on November 1, 2022, we released episodes on “Dense Breasts on MMG? What to do?”. Those episodes were in response to Katie Couric’s public outcry for the need for additional screening at time of mammogram in the setting of dense breasts. On March 9, 2023, the FDA issued a new ruling/guidance on patient notification of breast density at screening mammogram. And now, in April 2023, the ACOG has released its new Practice Advisory (PA) on the subject. In this episode, we will quickly summarize this practice advisory, it’s implications for us as clinicians, and implications to our patients.
