    CodeDisplay
    AlmostEntirelyFatAlmost entirely fatA term used to describe breast tissue that is made
    up of almost all fatty tissue.
    Fatty breast tissue does not look dense on a mammogram,
    which may make it easier
    to find tumors or other changes in the breast.
    Fatty breast tissue is more common in older women
    than in younger women.
    Fatty breast tissue is one of four categories used
    to describe a level of breast
    density seen on a mammogram.

    ScatteredAreasOfFibroglandularDensityScattered areas of fibroglandular densityA term used to describe breast tissue that is made
    up of mostly fatty tissue and
    also has some dense fibrous tissue and glandular
    tissue.
    On a mammogram, the dense areas of the breast make
    it harder to find tumors or other
    changes.
    Scattered fibroglandular breast tissue is one of
    four categories used to describe
    a level of breast density seen on a mammogram.
    About 40% of women have this type of breast tissue.

    A term used to describe breast tissue that is made
    up of almost all dense fibrous
    tissue and glandular tissue.
    On a mammogram, the dense areas of the breast make
    it harder to find tumors or other
    changes.
    Women who have extremely dense breast tissue have
    a higher risk of breast cancer
    than those who have little or no dense breast tissue.
    Extremely dense breast tissue is one of four categories
    used to describe a level
    of breast density seen on a mammogram.
    About 10% of women have this type of breast tissue.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
Source The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance)
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
Definition An explanation of the meaning of the concept
