Abstract

The radiology report is the radiologist's calling card in the sense that it represents the quality and best practice of the profession; moreover, it represents the beginning of the resolution of the patient's problem in the sense that it points to the diagnosis. A good report of a cardiac MRI study must be written in terms that are helpful for the physician who requested the test. A structured report following a standard pattern is useful. It is important to go beyond a merely descriptive report that only states measurements—radiologists also need to interpret the findings and state their opinions. In other words, they need to write about not only what they see or measure, but also what these findings mean and what is causing them.
