We surveyed patients who had access to view NOT ONLY their radiology reports BUT ALSO their radiology images (including plain film, CT, MRI, PET, etc) online via the EHR patient portal.

What did they think? Were they worried? Did they post the images online? Who did they share with? (hint, 4% shared on social media)

These questions, and more, are answered in the article. Click the link above, dear Reader, and press on.
