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).

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. Findings: The right temporal bone has a [normal, abnormal appearance]. The middle ear cleft is [ ] and the ossicles are [ ]. The cochlea, vestibule, vestibular and cochlear acqueduct are [normal, remarkable for whatever]. The facial nerve canal is [ ]. The semicircular canals are [ ]. The internal auditory canal is [ ]. The external auditory canal and mastoid air cells are [ ]. The carotid canal and jugular foramen are [ ]. The temporomandibular joint is [ ]. The left temporal bone has a [normal, abnormal appearance]. The middle ear cleft is [ ] and the ossicles are [ ]. The cochlea, vestibule, vestibular and cochlear acqueduct are [ ]. The facial nerve canal is [ ]. The semicircular canals are [ ]. The internal auditory canal is [ ]. The external auditory canal and mastoid air cells are [ ].
