@Leslie_Ferris @PiecesofI @mydensitymatter Thanks to events like this #FindOutMyBreastDensityDay, we can spread the word and increase awareness! Thanks to @Leslie_Ferris and partners for helping organize! #KnowYourRadiologist @UCCancerCenter @UChicagoMed

@PiecesofI @dsheth2 @mydensitymatter #FindOutMyBreastDensityDay 'You don't need to know' is very unacceptable

Q3. Where can women find out their breast density?  #FindOutMYBreastDensityDay

@Leslie_Ferris @mydensitymatter We must fight to be champions of our own health and advocate for it. Keep asking and pushing for that information. #EmpowerWomen to know their #BreastDensity. 🦾 #FindOutMyBreastDensityDay #KnowYourRadiologist @UCCancerCenter @UChicagoMed

@dsheth2 @mydensitymatter #FindOutMyBreastDensityDay what if it seems like no one wants to answer your questions. Happens a lot. it's very off putting, and women get annoyed and then give up.

@theresachirps #FindOutMyBreastDensityDay #KnowYourRadiologist @UCCancerCenter @UChicagoMed

@theresachirps Breast density is often inherited, but other factors can influence it. Lower breast density can be due to increasing age, having children, using tamoxifen. Higher breast density can be due to use of postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy and having a low body mass index.

Are there demographic or genetic predispositions to breast density? #FindOutMyBreastDensityDay

@Leslie_Ferris @DrPaulaGordon Women with dense breasts have a higher risk of breast cancer than women with non-dense (or fatty) breasts. This risk increases with increasing breast density. #KnowYourRadiologist #FindOutMyBreastDensityDay @UCCancerCenter @UChicagoMed

@DrPaulaGordon #FindOutMyBreastDensityDay Why is it a risk factor. Does anyone know for sure at this point?

I'm happy when a patient asks. That means our advocacy is working. #FindOutMyBreastDensityDay

@becka_newell @cmiller939 @UCCancerCenter @UChicagoMed Absolutely! There is a Breast Density Matters UK led by the wonderful @Cheryl_Cruwys that is a champion for breast density awareness #FindOutMyBreastDensityDay #KnowYourRadiologist @UCCancerCenter @UChicagoMed

@amykpatel @SBC_org Agree with @amykpatel! #Breast #Radiologists are strong advocates for patient education and empowerment.

@SBC_org There should be no fear in bringing it up, and we as providers should be ready to discuss! I always welcome the discussion and I think many in the #breastcancer community do too! #FindOutYourBreastDensityDay

May I ask a question with the #radiologistin the room, how is it perceived when a patient asks about breast density? Is it a welcomed discussion? I think there is fear sometimes to even bring it up and ask in the first place. Thoughts? #FindOutMyBreastDensityDay

@annieslight7 @mydensitymatter Thank you for sharing that story @annieslight7 Patient advocates like yourself are so important to spreading the word on breast density #FindOutMyBreastDensityDay #KnowYourRadiologist @UCCancerCenter @UChicagoMed

@mydensitymatter Hi! Breast cancer survivor from Montreal 🇨🇦 Diagnosed in 2013 at age 42. I had very dense breast but wasn’t informed-there was a 1 1/2 yrs delay to finally obtain a diagnosis. Advocating for breast density notification in Quebec, Canada #FindOutMyBreastDensityDay

@cmiller939 Great question! Your breast density is actually determined from a regular screening mammogram. There are four categories. Which one are you? #KnowYourRadiologist #FindOutMyBreastDensityDay @UCCancerCenter @UChicagoMed

Interesting idea - abbreviated MRI exams to catch up with backlog #LifeAfterCOVID #COVID19 Is radiology prepared for a post-COVID-19 imaging surge? via @AuntMinnie auntminnie.com/index.aspx?sec…
