Article Synopsis
- A study compared two ways of writing reports for a type of medical exam called DXA: structured reporting (SR) and free-text reporting (FTR).
- They found that using structured reports took less time to write and were easier to read.
- Most doctors preferred structured reports because they thought they were of better quality and gave clearer answers to medical questions.
Objectives: Globalization and migration are increasing the demand for reports in different languages. We aimed to examine if structured reports created by non-German-speaking radiologists with multilingual templates show significant differences in quality to structured reports and free-text reports by German native speakers.
Methods: We used structured templates that allow radiologists to report in their mother tongue and then switch the report language to German or English automatically using proprietary software.
