In this chapter:
(1) “Breast tomosynthesis” means a radiologic mammography procedure that involves the acquisition of projection images over a stationary breast to produce cross-sectional digital three-dimensional images of the breast from which applicable breast cancer screening diagnoses may be determined.
(1-a) “Diagnostic imaging” means an imaging examination using mammography, ultrasound imaging, or magnetic resonance imaging that is designed to evaluate:
(A) a subjective or objective abnormality detected by a physician or patient in a breast;
(B) an abnormality seen by a physician on a screening mammogram;
(C) an abnormality previously identified by a physician as probably benign in a breast for which follow-up imaging is recommended by a physician; or
(D) an individual with a personal history of breast cancer or dense breast tissue.
(2) “Low-dose mammography” means:
(A) the x-ray examination of the breast using equipment dedicated specifically for mammography, including an x-ray tube, filter, compression device, and screens, with an average radiation exposure delivery of less than one rad mid-breast and with two views for each breast;
(B) digital mammography; or
(C) breast tomosynthesis.
