(a) The definitions in this section apply throughout this rule.
(b) "Extremely dense" means the breast has a lot of fibrous and glandular tissue making it harder to find a cancer that may be present, as it can blend in with normal breast tissue.
(c) "Heterogeneously dense" means the breast has more areas of fibrous and glandular tissue that are found throughout the breast, making it difficult to see small masses.
(d) "High breast density" has the meaning set forth in IC 25-22.5-2-7(a)(11). Both extremely dense and heterogeneously dense breast tissues are breast tissues with high breast density. (Medical Licensing Board of Indiana; 844 IAC 16-1-2; filed Sep 23, 2016, 9:04 a.m.: 20161019-IR-844150299FRA)
