Radiology Templates Overview

The Radiology Templates module allows you to create and store pre-written text for medical imaging reports (like X-Rays, MRIs, CT Scans, and Ultrasounds). By setting up standard templates, your radiologists and doctors can quickly generate reports for common findings without having to type everything from scratch.

When Do I Use This?

  • When you want to create a standard "Normal" report for a specific exam (e.g., "Normal Chest X-Ray").
  • When you need to store standard medical disclaimers or formatting that should be included in certain types of scans.
  • When setting up a folder structure to organize templates by department or imaging type (e.g., grouping all Ultrasound templates together).

How To Use

Creating a New Radiology Template

  1. Navigate to your Radiology module and select Templates from the menu.
  2. Click the + New button.
  3. Enter a descriptive Name (e.g., "Standard MRI Knee").
  4. If you use a specific short-hand or abbreviation, enter it in the Code field.
  5. Type out the standard findings, impressions, and notes in the large Body text box.
  6. Click Save to make the template available to your staff.

Organizing Templates into Folders

You can keep your templates tidy by creating "Parent" templates that act like folders.

  1. Create a new template and name it after a category (e.g., "CT Scans"). Leave the body empty and save.
  2. When creating an actual template (e.g., "Head CT"), select "CT Scans" in the Parent field.

Field Descriptions

Field Name Description
Name The title of the template. Make this clear so doctors know exactly what the template is for (e.g., "Ultrasound Pelvis - Normal").
Code A short abbreviation or internal code for the template (e.g., "US-PEL-N").
Parent The category or folder this template belongs to. Useful for grouping similar templates together.
Active Check this box to make the template available for use. Uncheck it if the template is outdated or no longer used by the clinic.
Body The main text area where you type out the actual medical report content. This is what gets pasted into the patient's record when the template is used.
Tip: Include blank spaces or brackets like "[ ]" in your Body text to indicate where the radiologist needs to fill in specific measurements or patient-specific details.
