Radiology reports
Introduction
In general, radiology reports should be annotated in the same way as any other document. There are, however, some additional points to bear in mind. This section details these points.
Results
- Radiology reports may contain apparently free-standing results, which are the result of the entire procedure. These should be annotated as results.
- For example,
- "The cardiomediastinal contour is normal."
- "normal" should be annotated as a result.
Drug or device
- Radiology reports may contain more references to devices
- These may be some manufactured object, or some substance used for the investigation.
- For example,
- "very little barium was seen to actually pass through the prosthetic tube"
- Both "barium" and "prosthetic tube" should be annotated as drugs / devices
