General reaction This is an excellent feature that assists me as a patient in making my healthcare decisions. The report is more important to me than the images. I really have no idea what I’m looking at with the images.
Benefits A sense of involvement in my treatment and health. Usually you never get to see your images, so it felt empowering. I was able to ask my doctor more informed questions when we spoke. As a result, I felt I had fewer unresolved questions later, and worried less.
Concerns I would like access the report at the same time I get access to the images. Seeing the images without the results is not an effective way to share the information. I did not have a professional available to explain the results. I had to wait for my appointment with my oncologist.
