Introduction:
The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR) established a working group to explore how the college should engage with the future development of structured radiology reporting in our region, particularly in the context of a broader move to digital healthcare. Phase 1 of the project surveyed college members and affiliated interest groups about how they are using structured reporting currently and might like it to evolve.
Methods:
Member and interest group questionnaires were based on previously published studies and posted to the Survey Monkey platform. Responses were analysed descriptively.
Results:
There were 114 members and 58 affiliated group responses. There is clearest support for RANZCR developing guidelines around structured report quality, for improvements in report content, particularly tailoring to clinical context and study parameters, and for improved integration of structured reporting and RIS/PACS systems.
Conclusions:
Phase 2 of the structured reporting working group project will aim to develop guidelines for structured report quality and processes through which RANZCR can implement them.

Introduction to Documentation and Reporting
Nursing documentation records essential information and details regarding a patient's care and treatment in written or electronic form. It is a critical aspect of nursing practice that involves documenting assessments, interventions, outcomes, and other relevant details about a patient's health status.
Documentation maps the patient's health journey by creating a comprehensive...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and 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...
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
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...
