Structured reporting of ultrasound examinations can add value throughout the imaging chain. Reports may be created in a more efficient manner, with increased accuracy and clarity. Communication with referring providers and patients may be improved. Patient care can be enhanced through improved adherence with guidelines and local best practices. Radiology departments may benefit from improved billing and quality reporting. Consistent discrete data can enable research and collaborations between institutions. This article will review the multifaceted impact of structuring ultrasound reports.
