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).
MR Knee
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.
