Presentation from Radiopaedia 2020 Virtual Conference by Michael P Hartung. Also published in written form in Radiographics: pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/rg....
Great work, Michael. Excessive repetitive tautology of observation, thought and idea was not observed in this talk. The passive voice was not overused. Discomfort was not experienced in the watching thereof. Recommend interval repeat attendance of this conference, by listening back after an appropriate delay, depending on relevant ancillary observations, as clinically indicated. After all, the national flower of the radiologist, is - the hedge. Our favourite confectionery is, of course, fudge.
I am working using a third language (other than English or my mother tongue) avoiding long reports as blooming radiologic jargon has always been a pain. This article on Radiographics was very liberating to me
Thanks for the great presentation about an ever actual topic! You said that your PACS has a built-in function to flag patients or examination for an easier follow up.. Can you share the name of it or of third-party softwares that integrate into PACS? Best regards!
I agree with all except the part where the report should be easily understandable to the patient. The report is directed to the referring physician not directly to the patient.
Thanks a lot! I am board certified radiologist from Turkey and I have difficulties in Germany because they want to write everything in impressions part and when I don't do that, I got criticized and accused lack of experience and knowledge. Now I am more relieved to see I am not alone who writes something really necessary in other terms use simple and common language, I think I didn' t choose the right country :/ my skills and perceptions would be more suitable in USA...
Thank you. I reserve such "wordiness" for complex cases that are not straightforward and will require some careful problem solving by the ordering/consulted teams, particulary if several teams will be invovled in coordinating diagnosis/treatment. In those cases I tend to set aside my desire for brevity and adopt a more conversational tone where I lay it all out there. I try not to assume that they will reach out with questions, because many providers do not.
The manuscript has several relevant citations, but many ideas are based on historical patterns in reporting, broader principles of clear communication, logic, common sense, and feedback. pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/rg.2020200020

Can we write adenocarcinoma of colon as you mentioned in one of examples? Can we write histological diagnosis in our report?

Very logical. Words to live by, although I thought the last few slides of impressions/recommendations were again getting wordy.

Responsible reporting is key

Is this evidence based?
Logic and common sense based
