Diagnostic Imaging
Standard radiology reports often follow a narrative or free-form format, allowing the radiologist to highlight radiologic findings of importance while diminishing those insignificant to the clinical context. Unsurprisingly, researchers have noted that less than 4% of radiology reports are written at an eighth-grade level, with the average report requiring college-level reading skills.
