Radiology report examples
Left wrist X-ray
This example supplied by Natoe shows how DXR structures a radiologist’s abnormal findings and adds normal findings for review. The radiologist assesses the complete draft before signing.
Dictated findings
Mild degenerative changes involve the first carpometacarpal joint. A small ossific density with adjacent cortical irregularity is present along the dorsal distal ulna, visible only on the lateral view. Small nondisplaced dorsal distal ulnar fracture, age indeterminate. Mild first carpometacarpal osteoarthritis.

FINDINGS
BONES
A small ossific density with adjacent cortical irregularity is present along the dorsal distal ulna, visible only on the lateral view, compatible with a small nondisplaced fracture of indeterminate age. No other fracture identified. Osseous alignment is maintained.
JOINTS
Mild first carpometacarpal osteoarthritis. The remaining joint spaces are maintained. No dislocation.
SOFT TISSUES
No adjacent soft tissue swelling.
IMPRESSION
1. Small nondisplaced dorsal distal ulnar fracture of indeterminate age. 2. Mild first carpometacarpal osteoarthritis.
