Mammogram; Would you like fries with that, ma'am?

[ny biker]

I asked my doc about it & he said that 3D hasn't proven to be more effective than the plain old vanilla version.

When I got called back last year, my doctor said something about the 3D image being better and that it would eventually become the standard method.

Meanwhile I recently received a letter from the place that I go to for mammograms. It was disguised as a reminder to come in for an annual checkup, but really was mostly an ad for the 3D imaging. Which tells me they're either making quite a bit of cash off of them, or they need to make more cash off of them in order to pay for the equipment.
