Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Traditional mammography reporting relies on transcriptionists, which can be time-consuming.
  • Standardized reporting can improve efficiency and consistency in diagnostic mammography.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the development and four-year experience of a radiologist-oriented computerized report-coding system for diagnostic mammography.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of using personal computers for generating mammography reports.

Main Methods:

  • A radiologist-oriented computerized report-coding system was developed for diagnostic mammography.
  • Radiologists familiar with keyboard entry used the system for report generation, with suspicious and malignant findings dictated conventionally.
  • The system was implemented at a university Breast Imaging Center over four years.

Main Results:

  • Data input time for report generation was under 30 seconds for experienced radiologists.
  • Approximately 80% of mammographic examinations were suitable for standardized reporting using the system.
  • The system demonstrated efficient report generation for diagnostic mammography.

Conclusions:

  • Radiologist-generated reports using personal computers are a viable alternative to transcriptionist-oriented systems.
  • The developed system enhances efficiency in diagnostic mammography reporting.
  • Standardized reporting via personal computers can be effectively implemented in breast imaging centers.
