When I went to the imaging center for my regular mammogram last year, the woman behind the desk asked me if I'd like to get a "3-D" mammogram instead of the standard test I'd had in the past.
"It's more accurate," she said.
What do you say to that? "No, thanks, I'd rather have the test that gets it wrong?" Of course, I agreed.
A growing number of women are likely to face a similar choice in coming years as imaging centers across the country add three-dimensional mammography, also called digital breast tomosynthesis, to the two-dimensional, or 2-D, screening women customarily receive.
