[Internal echography. Problems inherent in iconographic documentation and reporting. A proposal for codification].
Problems concerning iconographic documentation and reporting in abdominal ultrasound are discussed. The authors propose schemes for a minimal iconographic documentation of the various organs and systems in case of negative examinations or to be associated with the documentation of the lesion in pathologic cases. Afterwards more complex questions in reporting are discussed, concerning dimensions of organs, echostructure and terminology in use with the proposal of a standard pattern. The authors point out how codification and standardization both of images and report are by now necessary in echography, in order to make examinations more comparable and capable of being evaluated.
