I have dense breast and had 3D for the first time this year. Thankfully all clear and my insurance covered all costs because I had met my deductible for the year. It's too bad that money can be an issue for technology that should benefit all.
the elephant in the room is that mammograms do NOT take an image of anything which is not between the mammogram plates, literally your underarms and all the areas around your breasts going a long ways away from the breasts, are not checked for microcalcifications. And of course the compression is unbearable for many women. No man would suffer his stuff being squished every year for several minutes, between mammogram plates-- for men they have a simple digital prostrate exam, and a blood test. WHY are women treated like cows?
@Tigs Laser-sonic Scanners are latest, and touted to be the best…but no clinic had them yet…maybe a couple of universities, that I don’t seem to be able to locate via google. So…as someone who is dense, with a history, guess I’ll keep getting 3D, and alternate with any other screening I can locate

Thanks for explaining that Doc I feel much more informed going into my 3D mammogram tomorrow.
I have to get this done tomorrow
Great explanation. Thanks a lot!
Super helpful Doc. Thanks for this great information!
A more comfortable machine needs to be made, specifically for girls that are younger and have denser breast tissue.
"Girls" don't get mammograms; women do.
Great information. Thank you!
Thank you for the video very informative
Thanx for these informations
Medicare pays for 3 D Mammogram.
Mammos hurt me everytime

If radiation can cause cancer, than why bother getting radiation treatments? Makes no sense to me
Because your uneducated
You should disclose your financial interest, if any in 3D mammograms.
Who cares if the screening helps detect your cancer earlier rather than later.

Would have been nice to see the actual process with a 3d machine
AYKM?
@@ruthcook7103 Meaning that the doc would not or should not disclose or that he has no obligation to disclose?
