Overview
Due to the diverse diagnostic imaging techniques available, radiologic examinations are made of an enormous amount of images. The radiologist is also expected to write a report with a diversified language, according to diagnostic technique(s), population type (client vs. patient; pediatric, adult, geriatric), pathology, and across all body areas. This means that the elements to be described and interpreted by the radiologist are sometimes exorbitant. In this book, the authors suggest a shared methodology to bring as much uniformity as possible to the way of writing a radiologic report, and how to most effectively communicate the results of an examination. The important role played by language from a legal-forensic point of view is also considered, and theoretical knowledge is transferred to everyday clinical practice. The book provides the perfect tool for radiologists in a very accessible format.
