I have an old copy of AAMT BOS (copyright 1995) and QA sent me something like the below. "He is to follow up with me for post hospitalization follow up within "1 to 2 weeks" after discharge." I had originally transcribed it as "one to two weeks." He goes on to state "Per AAMT BOS, use numerals almost exclusively, rather than spelling out the numbers." Did that change in the new newer book? TIA

Use arabic numerals for all numbers.
Subject: Use arabic numerals for all numbers.
The current standard in transcription is to use arabic numerals (1, 2, 3...)for all numbers, even under the number 10, because they stand out on the page and are less likely to be overlooked or misinterpreted.

Subject: Been typing rad for yrs and have never used roman..
numerals. Always arabic.
However, you will see a variation on the typing of BIRADS depending on who you are typing it for. The copyright lists it as BI-RADS, federal guidlines are supposed to dictate how it is typed but have worked for numerous centers that type it anywhere from BIRADS to BI-RADS to BiRADS. Categories however should always be arabic (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 0)
