Journal Title: International Journal of Research and Review - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
Aim and objectives: To assess the impact of implementing a structured report template on the quality of Computed tomography reports of esophageal cancer cases. Methods & Material: A prospective study with 30 biopsies proven cases of carcinoma of the esophagus, which were referred to Department of Radio diagnosis, SSIMS & RC, Davangere from Jan 2016 to Jan 2017 were carried out. Two separate qualified radiologists have reported each case, one in descriptive format and another in the structured report format. A structured reporting format was designed in tabular form keeping with esophageal wall growth and relationship with surrounding structures and ease of reporting as the main purpose. Results: Both old descriptive and structured reports were given to the surgeons for feedback. Structured reports gave a better understanding of each case scenario rather than descriptive report. Conclusion: Quality reporting is critical for accurate and effective communication of the information among multiple disciplines, for which a systematic structured approach is beneficial.
