Report Templates and Sign-Off
Reports are written from templates the centre’s radiologists approve. A draft stays a draft until the radiologist signs it. The signed version is locked, and that is the only version that can be printed or sent.
Templates per study
A normal whole abdomen, a chest X-ray and a CT brain each start from their own template.
After sign-off
A signed report cannot be edited quietly. If a correction is needed, an addendum or a revised version is issued, and the earlier one stays on record with the reason for the change.
What the radiologists decide
- The wording of each template and the phrases kept for common findings.
- Who may prepare drafts, and for which modalities.
- How an addendum is worded and who is told about it.
Frequently asked questions
Can a report be dictated?
A typist can work from a recorded dictation. Speech-to-text inside the system is not part of the standard set-up.
Does it write the findings itself?
No. The radiologist writes and signs every report. Templates only give a starting text.
