Since the discovery of the X-ray in 1896 radiology reporting has changed very little until the past decade. Very early reports were typed or handwritten by the radiologist. Later, reports were dictated into a recording device and later transcribed to text. Most reports were in prose format. Fewer were in a list or itemized configuration. There has been recent renewed interest in other reporting techniques. Speech recognition has been available for a number of years and has become more prevalent, albeit controversial, in the past decade. Although structured reporting has been available for a number of years, it is not widespread in radiology practice. |
