The Radiology Report: A Guide to Thoughtful Communication for Radiologists and Other Medical Professionals

I am thoroughly motivated to reexamine everything about how I communicate with referring physicians. I look forward to rereading and applying many of the authors suggestions. Thank you and I'm sure my referring physicians and patients would thank you if they could.

This is an excellent and comprehensive discussion about an extremely important and uniformly neglected aspect of radiology. Every radiologist, from cradle to grave should read this book.

Long time no see, Curtis. I have many similar thoughts on the proper use of language, even though I dictate in Spanish, which uses different grammar laws. Still, I got echoing ideas and new ones to approach teaching this subjects to my own residents. I concur that the chapters on scientific methodology, statistics and theory of logic are very important, but maybe not for this book, which I thought should be centered on the appropriateness of our reports. A very useful book, with plenty of references. Thanks.

This is an excellent, fast-paced overview of the history, present, and future of reporting in diagnostic radiology. Highly recommended for seasoned radiologists and residents alike.

First third of the book gives tips on writing reports. I gleaned some from this but not a whole lot, as I'm a good writer and organised to begin with. Second third talks about history of radiology and somehow delves into biostats. Final third speculates on the future of radiology, which is just speculation from one person. AI is going to revolutionize radiology and medicine anyway, which isn't mentioned much. Author does make strong pitches for structured reporting, which I'm neutral about.The writing tips could have been summarized on a web article. I write this from the perspective of a young, American schooled and trained radiologist.

Great resource for medical school.

Very informative not only for radiologist but all doctors nurses pain even non-medical. Highly recommend you be your own advocate

I have changed my reports as a result of reading the book!
