A computer assisted radiological reporting system.
The authors report their experience with a commercially available computerized diagnostic reporting system. The system has been in operation more than 36 months and processes more than 95,000 cases annually. Dictation is needed for only 13% of emergency room cases and 23% of in-patient cases. Savings in overtime and increased efficiency have resulted. The system can be adapted to other computerized systems within the x-ray department. Acceptance by staff and residents has been good.
