The October issue of the ACR Bulletin is dedicated to breast imaging, screening practices, and how radiologists as a specialty can work towards creating better patient engagement and care. There is a spotlight on breast imaging, and it has a photo highlighting Connecticut’s successful effort this past session to require health insurance coverage of Breast Tomosynthesis, HB 5233, Public Act 16-82.

Klarides was a leader in the effort to pass the health insurance coverage requirement for Tomosynthesis for breast cancer screenings. It is great to see our state chapter recognized for their work and efforts. We appreciate the support from the ACR.
