Changing the way radiology reports are structured requires acceptance and adaptation among radiologists. This adaption will not be easy but the results will provide faster, more consistent reports that are amenable to research data mining. Additionally, a number of organizations, such as the American College of Radiology, the Radiological Society of North America and the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services sponsor programs to foster structured reporting. Coupled with efforts from the industry to develop more intuitive solutions, radiology will continue to work toward developing systems that will simplify how these data are amassed and reported.</p>Wednesday, 05 May 2010 12:26:12 GMT
