This population experiences challenges accessing health care and is least likely to receive preventive health care, including screening mammogram. In a setting where the breast radiologist does not speak the language of their patient, using certified medical interpreter services is fundamental. Medical interpreter use is associated with improved clinical care and patient satisfaction and can potentially increase adherence to screening mammograms and follow-up in patients with LEP. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act requires interpreter services for patients with LEP who are receiving federal financial assistance. Failure to provide interpretative services when necessary is considered discriminatory and illegal. The use of untrained medical interpreters, including ad hoc interpreters (eg, family, friends, or untrained staff), is associated with more medical errors, violation of confidentiality, and poor health outcomes. Types of medical interpretation services available to address language barriers include in-person interpretation, telephone and video remote interpretation, and qualified bilingual staff. Proper training and certification of medical interpreters is essential to prevent misinterpretations and ensure patient safety. When using an interpreter service, speak to and maintain eye contact with the patient, address the patient directly and seat the interpreter next to or slightly behind the patient, use visual aids whenever possible, and have the patient repeat the information to verify comprehension. Breast radiologists can address disparities in breast cancer screening and treatment by promoting effective communication.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jbi\/wbad109","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,25]],"date-time":"2024-01-25T04:29:00Z","timestamp":1706156940000},"page":"296-303","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Appropriate Use of Medical Interpreters in the Breast Imaging Clinic"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Yara Z","family":"Feliciano-Rivera","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine , Miami, FL , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5936-5851","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Monica M","family":"Yepes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine , Miami, FL , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Priscila","family":"Sanchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine , Miami, FL , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Megan","family":"Kalambo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center , Houston, TX , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fatima","family":"Elahi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, University of Pennsylvania , Philadelphia, PA , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9177-6098","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rifat A","family":"Wahab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, University of Cincinnati Academic Health Center , Cincinnati, OH , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5972-4922","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tatianie","family":"Jackson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology, Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center , Wilkes-Barre, PA , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9464-8104","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tejas","family":"Mehta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, UMass Memorial Medical Center-University Campus , Worcester, MA , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jose","family":"Net","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine , Miami, FL , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024052713432789200_CIT0001","year":"2015"},{"key":"2024052713432789200_CIT0002","year":"2013"},{"issue":"3","key":"2024052713432789200_CIT0003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"263","DOI":"10.1001\/journalofethics.2017.19.3.medu1-1703","article-title":"Language-based inequity in health care: Who is the \u201cpoor historian\u201d","volume":"19","author":"Green","year":"2017","journal-title":"AMA J Ethics"},{"issue":"8","key":"2024052713432789200_CIT0004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1410","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2004.041418","article-title":"Limited English proficiency and breast and cervical cancer screening in a multiethnic population","volume":"95","author":"Jacobs","year":"2005","journal-title":"Am J Public Health"},{"issue":"1","key":"2024052713432789200_CIT0005","first-page":"e1","article-title":"Do not lose your patient in translation: using interpreters effectively in primary care","volume":"65","author":"Habib","year":"2023","journal-title":"S Afr Fam Pract (2004)"},{"issue":"2","key":"2024052713432789200_CIT0006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"472","DOI":"10.1007\/s11606-020-06336-6","article-title":"National estimates of professional interpreter use in the ambulatory setting","volume":"37","author":"Schulson","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Gen Intern Med"},{"issue":"7","key":"2024052713432789200_CIT0007","first-page":"476","article-title":"Appropriate use of medical interpreters","volume":"90","author":"Juckett","year":"2014","journal-title":"Am Fam Physician"},{"key":"2024052713432789200_CIT0008","year":"2007"},{"issue":"2","key":"2024052713432789200_CIT0009","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"727","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1475-6773.2006.00629.x","article-title":"Do professional interpreters improve clinical care for patients with limited English proficiency?
