“…However, that information must be synthesized and concentrated in such a way that the radiologist is able to provide a summary of the images, highlight the salient details and ultimately craft something of clinical utility. While the radiologists' skills at image interpretation and diagnosis are highly emphasized in training, the skills of synthesizing, concentrating and communicating the radiologists’ interpretation are not highly emphasized in training [3,5-6]. In this process, certain biases are likely at play and the expectations of clinicians and radiologists may not always be in line.…”

“…Studies have consistently indicated that referring clinicians thought the radiology report to be indispensable to medical practice, have preferred that radiologists include more detail in their reports, and have indicated that they prefer itemized reporting [2]. Moreover, nearly all major studies concerning the radiology report have highlighted the importance of radiologists learning to report well and that reporting be a focus of future training for radiologists, yet most centers in the US do not provide more than one hour per year of radiology reporting education [3].…”

This study seeks to examine a potential agreement and/or discordance of specific aspects of the radiology report between referring clinicians and radiologists within a medical group in a predominately rural setting. This study also aims to compare results with similar studies conducted in other geographic regions. This was done using a previously validated survey tool that examines five different aspects of the radiology report: importance, clinical correlation, clinicians’ satisfaction, content, structure, and style. Dichotomized results were statistically analyzed using χ2 or Fischer’s exact test and showed significant differences in the areas of importance and content. Non-dichotomized results unique to clinicians and radiologists were assessed qualitatively. Most clinicians found the radiology report to be useful in their clinical decision making and that they received radiology reports in a timely enough fashion to affect their decision making. These results were largely found to be in accordance with similar studies, but significant differences unique to the sampled population were present. Based on these findings, we have included specific recommendations that may enhance the clinical efficiency of radiology reports as used by clinicians and potentially reduce medical errors secondary to clinical information not always fully captured in radiology reports.

“…The radiological report also reflects the radiologist's knowledge, skill and training levels. 3 It can provide multifaceted information about the patient's experience in the radiology department and finalizes with the imaging observations, conclusions, and recommendations. 2 Communicating the results of imaging procedure to the referring physician and the patient is the primary goal of the radiology report.…”

Objectives: Radiological reporting is a relatively new and challenging issue in dentomaxillofacial radiology, whereas it has been performed so many years in medical radiology. The purpose of this study is to compare approaches of dentomaxillofacial and medical radiologists regarding radiology reporting. Materials and Methods: Dentomaxillofacial and medical radiologists were invited by e-mail. The participants filled a survey regarding the features of their own radiology reports. The study was based on two independent groups (dentomaxillofacial and medical radiologists). Mann-Whitney U test was used for two independent groups. Results: 285 radiologists in total (115 dentomaxillofacial and 170 medical radiologists) participated in this survey. Structured radiologic reports were mostly preferred by both dentomaxillofacial (53.9%) and medical radiologists (77%), but statistically significant difference was found between two groups (p<0.05). Although dentomaxillofacial (79.1%) and medical (81.2%) radiologists mostly reported that their own reports consisted of separate headings as clinical information, findings and conclusion, there was a statistically significant difference between two groups (p<0.05). The majority of dentomaxillofacial (99.1%) and medical (99.4%) radiologists agreed regarding radiology training programs should include radiology report construction. Conclusion: This is the first study pointing out the approaches of dentomaxillofacial radiologists about reporting. Good radiological reporting is a relatively new task for dentomaxillofacial radiologists compared to medical radiologists. This study showed that the approaches of dentomaxillofacial and medical radiologists were similar regarding radiological reports.

“…The reports reflect the knowledge, talent, and training level of the radiologists. [2][3][4] Furthermore, they are a critical legally-binding document. 5 The remarks of the radiologist are shared with the clinician through the reports.…”

Objectives: Radiology reports are the most important method of communication between the clinician and the radiologist. In dentomaxillofacial radiology, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) reporting is a new subject. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the satisfaction and expectations of dentists from CBCT reporting as well as contributing to standardization and improvement in the quality of CBCT reports. Materials and Methods: Dentists were invited to participate in the survey by e-mail. The participants filled out a survey with their demographic data and responded to 14 questions regarding CBCT reports. The responses regarding gender, age, title, institution, and department were analysed and compared with chi-square tests. Results: In total, 185 dentists (97 females and 88 males) participated in the study. Participants reported that the adequacy level of the reports were mostly moderate (N:87; 47%) and that the source of adequate reports was university hospitals (N:91; 49.2%). Fifty-seven percent of the surveyors (N:106) reported that they needed a consultant radiologist in clinical practice on a part time basis. There was a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) between participants' genders, age groups, titles, and departments regarding the source of the adequate reports. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that most of the dentists were not satisfied about the proficiency of CBCT reports. More than half of those surveyed thought that "not reading" the radiology reports might give them a legal liability. Most dentists wanted to consult with the radiologist before and after patient examinations.
