“…Other studies have used forms of content analysis to analyze the content in electronical medical records, e.g. to compare notes to content in EMR templates (32) and to analyze free-text content of radiology reports in comparison to RSNA reporting templates (33). The method has also been used to determine semantic categories as ways of making text simplification of medical Swedish in radiology reports into general Swedish for laymen (34); however, to the best of our knowledge, no other studies have compared adherence of Swedish preoperative MRI reports to EBP for the staging of rectal cancer.…”

Rectal cancer staging using MRI: adherence in reporting to evidence-based practice

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the first-line imaging modality for local staging of rectal cancer. The radiology report should deliver all relevant available imaging information to guide treatment. Purpose: To explore and describe if there was a gap between the contents in MRI reports for primary staging of rectal cancer in Sweden in 2010 compared to evidence-based practice. Material and Methods: A total of 243 primary MRI staging reports from 2010, collected from 10 hospitals in four healthcare regions in Sweden, were analyzed using content analysis with a deductive thematic coding scheme based on evidence-based practice. Focus was on: (i) most frequently reported findings; (ii) correlation to key prognostic findings; and (iii) identifying if any findings being reported were beyond the information defined in evidence-based practice. Results: Most frequently reported findings were spread through the bowel wall or not, local lymph node description, tumor length, and distance of tumor from anal verge. These items accounted for 35% of the reporting content. Of all reported content, 86% correlated with the evidence-based practice. However, these included more information than was generally found in the reports. When adjusting for omitted information, 48% of the reported content were accounted for. Of the reported content, 20% correlated to key pathological prognostic findings. Six types of findings were reported beyond the evidence-based practice, representing 14% of the total reporting content. Conclusion: There was a gap between everyday practice and evidence-based practice in 2010. This indicates a need for national harmonization and implementation of standardized structured reporting templates.

“…We continue to work closely with our PACS vendor on further advances in computer-aided diagnosis (6). In addition to automated follow-up segmentations provided by image space (x, y) and z axis (table position) refined registration, we are looking into total body segmentation, beginning to refine to small-bowel segmentation emanating from mesenteric vessels (44).…”

Multimedia-enhanced radiology report (MERR) development is defined and described from an informatics perspective, in which the MERR is seen as a superior information-communicating entity. Recent technical advances, such as the hyperlinking of report text directly to annotated images, improve MERR information content and accessibility compared with text-only reports. The MERR is analyzed by its components, which include hypertext, tables, graphs, embedded images, and their interconnections. The authors highlight the advantages of each component for improving the radiologist's communication of report content information and the user's ability to extract information. Requirements for MERR implementation (eg, integration of picture archiving and communication systems, radiology information systems, and electronic medical record systems) and the authors' initial experiences and challenges in MERR implementation at the National Institutes of Health are reviewed. The transition to MERRs has provided advantages over use of traditional text-only radiology reports because of the capacity to include hyperlinked report text that directs clinicians to image annotations, images, tables, and graphs. A framework is provided for thinking about the MERR from the user's perspective. Additional applications of emerging technologies (eg, artificial intelligence and machine learning) are described in the crafting of what the authors believe is the radiology report of the future.

“…At this moment, more than 200 templates are already online and the number of views has passed the 1 million mark. Hong and Kahn [ 19 ] have measured how much of the conventional narrative reports is covered by the concepts included in the RSNA reporting templates. The reporting templates accounted for 17–49 % of the concepts that actually appeared in a sample of corresponding radiology reports.…”

Analysis of a serum sample, and whole blood on citrate and EDTA. We compare the results to those of December 20th. We observe a slight rise in blood glucose level, but the value is still within normal limits. Erythrocytes sedimentate at a rather fair rate of 25 millimetres per hour, which can be considered just mildly abnormal, taking into account the patient’s gender and age. We notice serum creatinine is 140 micromoles per litre, which corresponds, according to Cockroft-Gault, to a creatinine clearance of 67 millilitres per minute. The other chemical constituents and haematological evaluations are unremarkable, except for a rise in the number of neutrophils, which has tripled in comparison with the last examination.\ud \ud Impression\ud \ud Biochemically, we see little evolution in this slightly overweight, middle-aged patient with a history of arterial hypertension, but there is a possible suspicion of an acute infection. These results need to be correlated to the clinical presentation.\ud Does this report look familiar? It is unlikely that you have ever received a similar one from your clinical biochemist. Results of biochemical and haematological tests are nearly always presented in a neat, tabular format, with some space for results that cannot be quantified, and for expert comment. In addition, many hospital information systems allow referring clinicians to represent consecutive results graphically, which can help to improve insight into the course of the disease
