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!

question: how will I transcribe that? coz Occipital neuralgia is not related to "probable acute gastroenteritis" isn't it? or possibly there was a 2 impression. one, is occipital neuralgia and secondly, acute gastroenteritis?... What's the meaning by the dictator?


NOTE: but the dictator did not dictate any numbering....

not sure about the first, but the second part may be right
Subject: not sure about the first, but the second part may be right

It is possible he is saying "of five to seven inches" or "site of seven inches" but that still leaves the first part.  If it's the first one it sounds like "muce" or "moose" or "meese".  For the second one it would end in an "a" sound like "meesa site"  It sounds like he's saying "uh" in front of that, like he's thinking.  But maybe it's part of the word "ameesa site" or something like that.  And then again, maybe it's not even an "m".  Could be an "n" or something else.  I feel like I'm getting closer.  I just wish he didn't have to talk so fast!  Actually, you suggested adhesion and I just thought of "adhesive site".  It doesn't sound like an "h" really, but would that make sense?  "a moderate to severe adhesive site of seven inches with the radiation therapy?"  Seven inches!  That's really long.
