Rome Italy was the setting of the European Society of Breast Imaging Annual Scientific Assembly, as Dr. Cappello joined global leaders in breast health on the lecture stage, four years after Connecticut became the FIRST state to disclose dense breast tissue to the patient through the mammography report.
Dr. Cappello relived her startling story from patient to advocate to an enthusiastic crowd of health care providers and physicians from across the world.
