Hi Shirl -
Hang in there, this will be old hat to you after a while. Radiology reports are usually pretty standard. Same phrases/terms used by all radiologists.
Some usual headings in a radiology report are:
CLINICAL INDICATION: or INFORMATION: or HISTORY, or variations of any of these.
FINDINGS: or RESULTS:
IMPRESSION: or OPINION:
Start adding the common phrases, like "lung markings" and all the various possible headers as above, to whatever word expander program you have. You'll be flying through reports in no time!
