Development and Proof-of-Concept Evaluation of a Structured Reporting Template for Emergency Radiology Using Synthetic Cases.

ABSTRACT: Background: Structured reporting is increasingly recognized as a transformative tool in radiology, offering clarity, uniformity, and enhanced clinical communication. Yet, evidence from controlled methodological studies remains limited, and the pathway from conceptual design to clinical practice is not fully mapped. Methods: In this methodological proof-of-concept study, 40 synthetic emergency radiology cases were created to compare structured and free-text reporting across four domains: neurological, thoracic, abdominal/pelvic, and vascular/other acute pathologies.

Results: Structured reports outperformed free-text formats in completene
