Start with a clear and concise introduction that includes the patient's demographic information and the reason for the imaging study.
Provide a detailed description of the imaging findings, including any specific measurements or observations. Use technical terms and jargon appropriate for the imaging modality used (i.e., MRI, CT, Ultrasound, X-ray)
Include a section on the differential diagnosis, listing the most likely possibilities and their likelihood.
Offer a final impression that summarizes the main findings, outlining any significant or abnormal results, and any additional diagnostic tests or follow-up recommendations.
Conclude with a summary of the key findings and recommendations for further management.
It is important to use clear and concise language, be specific, and use appropriate medical terminology. The report should be proofread for accuracy and completeness before it is signed and sent to the referring physician.
