Guided Reporting –
Rethinking structured Reporting

Key to the development of Guided Reporting is the idea of digitally mapping the thinking of experienced radiologists. The resulting software provides a structured framework that helps guide users through the analysis process, offering flexibility while ensuring key considerations are addressed.

The Weaknesses Of Current Reporting

Rising Imaging Demands, Stretched Radiology Teams

  • Modern CT and MRI scanners produce more images than ever, yet the radiology workforce has not kept pace, straining existing staff.1,2
  • Rising pressure is driving high burnout rates, especially in private practice, worsening workforce challenges and underscoring the need for effective solutions.3–5

    Time Lost in Reporting

    • Radiologists face reduced productivity due to time-consuming manual processes.6
    • Unclear radiology findings and ambiguities result in lengthy consultations and additional imaging.7,8

      Unclear Referrals and Inconsistent Reporting Fuel Redundant Imaging

      • Inefficient communication between referring physicians and radiologists plays a crucial role in overutilization. Unclear referral information, ambiguous clinical indications, and a lack of standardized reporting practices contribute to misinterpretations and redundant imaging.9

      How Guided Reporting Can Address Current Weaknesses in Radiology

      • Guided reporting provides a  structured reporting framework supporting radiologists by streamlining high-volume workflows and reducing cognitive load.
      • Intuitive selection tools and pre-defined fields eliminate repetitive tasks and reduce time spent generating reports.
      • Standardized, comprehensive output ensures clarity and consistency, improving communication and reducing unnecessary follow-ups.
