Description

Highlights: • Structured reporting of CT trauma scans was compared to free-text reporting in an experimental setting. • Structured reporting led to faster documentation of diagnoses. • Structured radiology reports contained more detailed designations of pathologies. • Radiologists were more satisfied with structured reports. This study aimed to determine whether structured reports (SRs) reduce reporting time and/or increase the level of detail for trauma CT scans compared to free-text reports (FTRs).
