The RSNA radiology reporting initiative is improving reporting practices by creating a library of clear and consistent report templates.
Supported in part by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB).
CT Temporal Bones
This page demonstrates the templates as a synoptic and hierarchical report, with the initial view showing only the template title and the major section headers of the report. By clicking on the section headers it is possible to drill into the content of the template.

Technique [ ______ ] //Using a multi-detector scanner, 0.625 mm axial scans of the
temporal bone were acquired using a high-resolution bone technique. The
scans were retrospectively targeted for right and left side, and
subsequently reconstructed in the [coronal, whatever] plane, again targeting
the right and left sides individually, as well as the entire skull base.
Both axial and coronal images were reviewed on the
workstation.
