House Resolution 5238 and Senate Bill 2944, the BRST Act, is receiving active support from the ASRT.

Sponsored by Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (PA) and Sen. Martha McSally (AZ), these bills will ensure that active duty military servicewomen and military family members covered by the TRICARE program are able to access digital breast tomosynthesis screening examinations. Digital breast tomosynthesis screenings have been shown to enhance the ability to detect precancerous and cancerous lesions in women with dense breast tissue.

ASRT represents more than 156,000 medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals, including over 21,000 mammographers who perform screening and diagnostic mammography examinations on millions of Americans each year.
