Background
The radiological reporting is an art, which has changed dramatically over the past few decades. This change is mainly due to increase of dependance of clinicians on radiological reports and their demands for uniformaity of radiological reports. These changes have led to structured reporting formats.
Weis et al(1) defined structured reporting into three basic levels, which have been described in Fig. 1 below.
Fig. 1: Three levels of structured reporting format.
-
The first level is the most common format with paragraphs and subheadings as shown in Fig. 2 .
Fig. 2: Example of first level reporting format.
-
The second level is defined by consistent organisation with an internal logical order as shown in Fig. 3 .
Fig. 3: Example of second level reporting format.
-
The third level directly answers the clinical question and has its consistent use of dedicated terminology, standard language. This is shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 .

We will concentrate on third level of structured reporting for CT and MR liver dynamics in the rest of sections.
