What Women Want: Real Time Results for Screening Mammography in the Era of Patient-Experience Driven Care

This study explores why patients may want to receive real-time imaging results during a screening mammogram appointment at an MD Anderson breast imaging center. Real-time imaging results means women receive the results of the mammogram right away during the same clinic visit. Information from this study may help researchers better understand patient preferences to enhance patient-experience driven care.
