Abstract

Our objective was to create a user-friendly synoptically driven web-based tool for radiologists to report thyroid ultrasound studies and thereby improve the quality, completeness, and recommendations of reports. The tool, developed using JavaScript and PHP (hypertext preprocessor), provides radiologists with a way to generate complete thyroid ultrasound reports and automatically categorize thyroid nodules of varying suspicion. Future work will focus on integration with the radiology information system for seamless reporting and the development of a prospective database.
