Abstrakt: Background: This study aims to evaluate the potential benefits of structured reporting (SR) compared to conventional free-text reporting (FTR) in contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) of cystic renal lesions, based on the Bosniak classification.
Methods: Fifty patients with cystic renal lesions who underwent CEUS were included in this single-center study. FTR created in clinical routine were compared to SR retrospectively generated by using a structured reporting template. Two experienced urologists evaluated the reports regarding integrity, effort for information extraction, linguistic quality, and overall quality.
Results: The required information could easily be extracted by the reviewers in 100% of SR vs. 82% of FTR ( p < 0.001). The reviewers trusted the information given by SR significantly more with a mean of 5.99 vs. 5.52 for FTR ( p < 0.001). SR significantly improved the linguistic quality (6.0 for SR vs. 5.68 for FTR ( p < 0.001)) and the overall report quality (5.98 for SR vs. 5.58 for FTR ( p < 0.001)).
Conclusions: SR significantly increases the quality of radiologic reports in CEUS examinations of cystic renal lesions compared to conventional FTR and represents a promising approach to facilitate interdisciplinary communication in the future.
