Role of Structured Reporting in Interpretation of High-Risk OB Imaging

HIDE
PrevNext

0:00

When interpreting and reporting imaging studies

0:02

for high-risk OB patients, it's important

0:05

to consider the use of structured reporting.

0:08

Structured reporting, or use of templates,

0:10

provides a systematic framework for reviewing

0:13

the images and documenting the imaging findings.

0:16

Disease-specific templates can improve

0:19

report clarity, and using a checklist

0:21

style may reduce diagnostic error and

0:23

ensure that the report is complete.

0:26

Picklists may be incorporated into structured

0:28

reports to allow the radiologist to choose from

0:31

several possible findings present on an exam.

0:34

For example, within our placental MR template,

0:37

the radiologist is able to choose from

0:39

several options indicating whether features

0:42

of placenta accreta spectrum are present.

0:46

In summary, uterine incarceration, retained

0:48

products of conception, and uterine dehiscence

0:51

are all pregnancy-related complications with a

0:53

high risk of maternal hemorrhage or infection

0:56

if not adequately diagnosed and managed.

0:59

MRI is an excellent tool in troubleshooting

1:02

unexpected or infrequently encountered

1:04

clinical and imaging findings.

1:06

Use of structured reporting, specifically

1:09

disease-focused templates when evaluating

1:11

clinical entities, may improve report

1:14

clarity and reduce diagnostic errors.
