Quantitative Improvement in Brain Tumor MRI Through Structured Reporting (BT-RADS).

Rationale And Objectives: Determine the objective benefits of structured reporting of brain tumors through Brain tumor-RADS (BT-RADS) by analyzing discrete quantifiable metrics of the reports themselves.

Materials And Methods: Following Institutional Review Board approval, post-treatment glioma reports were acquired from two matched 3-month time periods for pre- and postimplementation of BT-RADS. The reports were analyzed for presence of history words, such as "Avastin" and "methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase," as well as hedge words, such as "Possibly" and "Likely.
