Development and application of an electronic synoptic report for reporting and management of low-dose computed tomography lung cancer screening examination.

Background: Interpretation of Low Dose CT scans and protocol driven management of findings is a key aspect of lung cancer screening program performance. Reliable and reproducible methods are needed to communicate radiologists' interpretation to the screening program or clinicians driving management decision.

Methods: We performed an audit of a subset of dictated reports from the PANCAN study to assess for omissions.
