Improving Radiology Resident Reporting Through Structured Reporting Guest Editorial

In this issue, Vosshenrich et al. ( 1 Vosshenrich J Brantner P Cyriac J et al. Quantifying the effects of structured reporting on report turnaround times and proofreading workload in neuroradiology. Acad Radiol. 2023; 30: 727-736 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (1) Google Scholar ) describe their efforts to quantify the effects of adopting structured reporting (SR) templates in a Neuroradiology training environment. Specifically, the authors measured pre- and postimplementation differences in report turnaround time (TAT) and on the extent of faculty-required proofreading changes. Following the introduction of SR templates, the authors noted shorter time-to-preliminary and decreased time-to-final reporting measures, concluding that improved report similarity between resident preliminary and final reports likely contributed to the decreased TATs.
