@Sister our mutual surgeon also sends me for 3D mammograms at St Andrews.
I remember he was not happy 12 months/ more ago when I had a 2D one at another hospital as I couldn’t access a 3D one and needed an urgent look as had an inverted nipple ( all clear btw).
I was told by the technician at my recent mammogram that 3D machines need less pressure ( a blessing) and I know they are preferable for dense breast ( which I don’t have). I think he prefers the accuracy of the 3D machine and possibly the team that perform the mammograms as well as the the pathologist that provides a diagnosis.
Btw I am also ILC which could also explain why he prefers a 3D machine.
