Abstract

A system and method of radiology verification is provided. The verification may be implemented as a standalone software utility, as part of a radiology imaging graphical user interface, or within a more complex computing system configured for generating radiology reports.

Claims

1. A method for the verification of radiology reporting with use of a radiology processing system, comprising:

selecting an patient examination report to be verified;

providing a database in communication with a microprocessor, said database including a compilation of keywords based on the selected examination report;

viewing images related to the patient examination report;

dictating the radiology report into said database using voice recognition;

translating the voice recognition into detected voice commands;

creating a textual report based on the detected voice commands;

comparing the textual report with the compilation of keywords to generate a listing of missing keywords in the textual report;

displaying the textual report and missing keywords to a radiologist user;

selecting and displaying desired images to update the textual report based on the missing keywords;

finalizing the report.
