Report Communication Standards

Good communication is essential in medicine, and particularly in radiology. Radiology is a supporting specialty with a mainly consultative function. The service rendered by radiologists can be roughly divided into two distinct but inseparable parts: analyzing the images on the one hand, and reporting the findings on the other. The radiology report is the core of the communication by the radiologist (Flanders and Lakhani 2012), and in a way our product, the end stage of the workflow.
