ADC Team Reports 8 January 2024
Most imaging reports are written for clinical accuracy, which means they often use medical terminology. Patients do not need to interpret them alone, but understanding the structure can still be helpful.
What a report usually includes
Reports often include the exam type, relevant history, findings, and an impression. The impression is usually the summary your doctor reviews first.
Why reports should be reviewed with your doctor
Imaging findings must be interpreted alongside symptoms, examination results, and clinical history. Your doctor can explain what the report means in context.
What to keep with you
Keep copies of the report, referral, and any prior imaging when possible. These records can be useful for comparison in future visits.
