Background/Introduction
Communication is one of the central issues in Radiology.
For many years,
there is a discussion on improvement of reporting in Radiology using templates with structured informations (so called "Structured Reporting").
Based on the definiton of a new profile by the international organisation "Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise" (IHE) for reporting,
which has been published in 2013,
there is a new drive in these activities.
This IHE profile MRRT (Management of Radiology Report Templates,
Fig.
1) enables the exchange of templates between different solutions,
the integration of modular informations and the direct communication of data from modalities or workstations into templates.
In parallel,
the European Commission published in December 2013 the new COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 2013/59/EURATOM for basic safety standards (Fig.
2).
As part of this directive (Item No.
28),
there is a request for "..reporting of doses from medical procedures."
