TL;DR
Most surveyed patients preferred speaking with a radiologist immediately but were unwilling to pay additional fees, and Radiologists, hospital administrators, and health care planners must be aware of the costs of immediate reporting and must factor these costs into any change in hospital or national policy.
Abstract
Most surveyed patients preferred speaking with a radiologist immediately but were unwilling to pay additional fees. Radiologists, hospital administrators, and health care planners must be aware of the costs of immediate reporting and must factor these costs into any change in hospital or national policy.

Providing immediate on-site diagnostic evaluation can reduce the stress of a false-positive screening mammogram, according to a retrospective survey mailed to women with false- positive screening mammograms that had proved negative or benign at diagnostic imaging.
RadiologyWomen's attitudes about receiving mammographic results directly from radiologists.
42 Citations1994S Liu, L W Bassett +1 more
It is suggested that additional investigation be performed to determine what women in diverse socioeconomic backgrounds and geographic locations think about the communication of mammographic results directly to them by radiologists.
RadiologyCommunication of mammography results to women by radiologists: attitudes of referring health care providers.
29 Citations1995L W Bassett, K Bomyea +2 more
Referring physicians were receptive to the direct communication of mammography results to women by radiologists and use of this type of survey is recommended for radiologists planning to change their communication protocols.
Academic RadiologyPatient satisfaction with screening mammography: Online vs off-line interpretation
28 Citations1998Todd E. Wilson, Carolyn Wallace +4 more
Overall mean satisfaction with the mammographic experience and with the time it took to receive results differed significantly between the two groups, and patients preferred online mammographic interpretation of screening studies.
RadiologyPatient expectations of radiology in noninteractive encounters.
24 Citations1989W. L. Smith, Elizabeth M. Altmaier +3 more
Open-ended interviews with 107 patients documented specific patient expectations of radiologic procedures during which there was no direct radiologist-patient interaction, and communication skills, accuracy of interpretation, and interpersonal skills were the predominant concerns.

21 Citations1997C A Hulka, Priscilla J. Slanetz +6 more
A statistically significant number of women who responded to the questionnaire preferred the DRDR system of reporting screening mammographic results, and educational material about double reading that was included with each patient's questionnaire could account for these results.

12 Citations1996Priscilla J. Slanetz, Richard H. Moore +7 more
An off-site, double-reading delivery system for mammographic screening services is preferred by many physicians for their patients once they are educated as to the benefits of double reading.
