| Article Title: | How sure are you, doctor? A standardized lexicon to describe the radiologists level of certainty |
| Abstract: | OBJECTIVE. A standardized lexicon to specify the radiologists level of certainty in a radiologic diagnosis can decrease the confusingly large number of words and phrases currently used for that purpose. Such a lexicon furthermore can minimize ambiguity and facilitate clearer communication among radiologists, referring physicians, and patients. CONCLUSION. We would like to share our experience with the lexicon that we developed in 2009. For ease of communication, the lexicon itself is included in each radiology report. © American Roentgen Ray Society. |
