Interventional Procedures: Patient-Centered Approach

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Interventional Breast Procedures

Abstract

Patient-centered care is one of the core values of the Society of Breast Imaging and calls for provider collaboration with patients and families in shared decision-making processes to optimize care and patient satisfaction. As patients undergo imaging-guided breast biopsy procedures, understanding the patients’ experiences is critical for enabling radiologists to provide the most effective, patient-centered approach. This chapter describes factors such as effective radiologist-patient communication, reducing wait times, psychosocial support for anxiety, and procedural techniques and interventions for pain control to enhance patients’ experiences as they navigate the breast biopsy process.
