Unlocking Radiology Reporting Data: an Implementation of Synoptic Radiology Reporting in Low-Dose CT Cancer Screening

ESR paper on structured reporting in radiology

Structured reporting is emerging as a key element of optimising radiology's contribution to patient outcomes and ensuring the value of radiologists' work. It is being developed and supported by many national and international radiology societies, based on the recognised need to use uniform language and structure to accurately describe radiology findings. Standardisation of report structures ens...

Continuous Speech Recognition in Radiology Reporting

Background. The early 1990s saw the development of the first viable voice recognition software. The software was fraught with problems requiring pauses between words and poor word recognition. These characteristics were unacceptable to most individuals and proved impractical in applications other than minimal note writing of frequently repeated phrases. Recent advances in the area of continuous...

Quality assurance in radiology reporting: peer feedback

Toward best practices in radiology reporting.

The goals and current efforts of the Radiological Society of North America Radiology Reporting Committee are described. The committee's charter provides an opportunity to improve the organization, content, readability, and usefulness of the radiology report and to advance the efficiency and effectiveness of the reporting process.

Application of standardized biomedical terminologies in radiology reporting templates

The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) has been promoting structured radiology reports by creating "best practices" reporting templates. The RSNA Reporting Template Library has been developed with the goal of integrating reusable knowledge into the clinical reporting process, which has intentionally incorporated standardized biomedical terminologies to reduce communication errors caus...
