The Patient Experience: What It’s Like to Undergo a Breast MRI

The Patient Experience: What it's Like to Undergo a Breast MRI

As part of Breast Cancer Trials Clinical Fellowship Program, Dr Julia Matheson is working on a project that will continue research on the existing clinical trial called the Breast MRI Evaluation Study, which aims to establish when breast MRIs improve patient outcomes.

The focus of this Clinical Fellowship project will be assessing the participant experience of undergoing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). The hypothesis is that having a breast MRI will influence patient preferences for surgery, satisfaction with decision-making, and confidence in treatment.

Find out more about the aim of this research and some of the barriers to accessing breast MRIs in this episode.
