Abstract

Objectives

To develop a platform that uses structured reporting templates according to the IHE Management of Radiology Report Templates (MRRT) profile, and to implement this platform into clinical routine.

Methods

The reporting platform uses standard web technologies (HTML / JavaScript and PHP / MySQL) only. Several freely available external libraries were used to simplify the programming. The platform runs on a standard web server, connects with the radiology information system (RIS) and PACS, and is easily accessible via a standard web browser.

Results

A prototype platform that allows structured reporting to be easily incorporated into the clinical routine was developed and successfully tested. To date, 797 reports were generated using IHE MRRT-compliant templates (many of them downloaded from the RSNA’s radreport.org website). Reports are stored in a MySQL database and are easily accessible for further analyses.

Conclusion

Development of an IHE MRRT-compliant platform for structured reporting is feasible using only standard web technologies. All source code will be made available upon request under a free license, and the participation of other institutions in further development is welcome.

Key Points

A platform for structured reporting using IHE MRRT-compliant templates is presented.
Incorporating structured reporting into clinical routine is feasible.
Full source code will be provided upon request under a free license.
