My breast surgeon has an in house 3D mammogram machine so it’s a one stop shop for me. I don’t have dense tissue but the 3D readings make me comfortable about not having an ultrasound, as I used to feel much more confident about the ultrasound result than the old 2D mammograms. If many people are relying on Breastscreen (as they are encouraged to do) then 3D equipment should be rolling out now.
