Summary
North American radiologists widely use structured reporting in academic settings, with high satisfaction despite some limitations. Further research is needed to standardize reporting processes.
Area of Science:
- Radiology
- Medical Informatics
Background:
- Structured reporting is increasingly adopted in radiology.
- Standardization aims to improve report clarity and reduce errors.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess current practices and radiologist experiences with structured reporting in North America.
- To understand the development, use, and satisfaction with structured reporting systems.
Main Methods:
- An online survey was distributed to 910 members of the Association of University Radiologists.
- The survey addressed structured reporting, language, imaging classification, and dictation styles.
Main Results:
- 265 (29.1%) radiologists responded, primarily from academic teaching hospitals.
- 51.3% of respondents' groups developed structured reporting for at least half of their reports.
- 59.5% were satisfied with structured reports, while only 13% were dissatisfied; adoption correlated with increased requirement and appreciation.
Conclusions:
- Most academic radiology departments are implementing or piloting structured reports.
- Radiologist satisfaction is significant, but opinions on limitations and value vary.
- Findings suggest investment in structured reporting and inform future standardization efforts.

1.7K
Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...

5.7K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Description
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

An Incident or Occurrence Report in a healthcare setting is a crucial document used to record any unexpected occurrence that may or may not have affected a patient, employee, or visitor. Such reports are critical to improving patient safety and include all details leading up to and including the event.
