A while back I was requested to give some guidance on creating a systematic radiology report for 2D radiographs and thought this is a great idea. 🙂 To the requestor, thanks for the idea.
I’ve broken the report up into 5 sections, granted a final report only ends up with 4 sections (more to come on that). Anyways, since this is just a preview post with the topics linked as they are posted.
Here are the topics:
- Teeth
- Caries
- Periodontal Assessment
- Pediatric Assessment
- Other
The entire basis of this is adapted from the very first boiler I had during my residency. I have made quite a few tweaks during my teaching career so look at this as a jumping off point to help you.
A quick note when creating a report is to only include images made on the same day for simplicity.
And a giant thank you to Axel Ruprecht for the first ever boiler that I started from. (For those curious as to why it’s called a boiler, I’ll let you have some fun with Google. Hint: it’s historical.).
Thanks and enjoy!
