UPPER ABDOMEN US
The liver is normal in size with homogeneous echotexture.
Gallbladder wall thickness is normal; the lumen is anechoic.
The spleen is normal in size and echogenicity.
Both kidneys are normal in size; no stones.
Ultrasound checklist
The ultrasound room works differently: the radiologist holds the probe and calls out findings, and an assistant often types the report. Typing long sentences fast is tiring and invites typos. Ultrasound mode is made for this: the assistant types short codes and Raporio turns them into the right sentences of your template.
How it works
- 1The template is read once. AI reads your ultrasound template and prepares a checklist of ready findings and abbreviations for each organ. This takes about a minute and is done once per template.
- 2The assistant types short codes. As the radiologist calls out findings, the assistant enters codes such as "liver fat2, gb stone 8".
- 3The report is built instantly. "liver fat2" becomes the grade 2 fatty liver sentence, "gb stone 8" an 8 mm gallstone; the rest of the template stays normal.
- 4Next patient. "New report" resets to the template for the next patient.
Why fewer errors
- Sentences are prepared from your template in advance, so no typos.
- Left and right are kept apart; a code for one side writes to that side.
- Normal statements stay unchanged; only the sentence the code concerns is updated.
- Every change against the template is highlighted for a quick check.
If you edited a section of the report by hand, codes will not overwrite it; Raporio warns you instead, so your manual correction is kept.
Make the checklist your own
The generated checklist is a starting point. Change abbreviations to match your habits, separating several with commas. For values such as sizes, add a placeholder like {size} to the sentence; when the assistant types "gb stone 8", the 8 goes there.
Abbreviation: gb stone
Sentence: A {size} mm stone is seen in the gallbladder lumen.
If you change the template later, Raporio tells you the checklist is out of date and you can regenerate it.
Free notes too
For a finding that is not on the checklist, the assistant can type a short free note and Raporio works it into the right place. The radiologist can also use dictation mode on the same screen.
Who is it for?
Ultrasound units that work with an assistant, busy hospital clinics and private centres using the same template dozens of times a day. See also our post on common ultrasound report mistakes.
Frequently asked questions
Is the checklist rebuilt for every report?
No. It is prepared once per template, in about a minute.
Can I change the abbreviations?
Yes. You can edit the abbreviations and sentences in the checklist.
Can a code overwrite something I corrected by hand?
No. Codes do not change a section edited by hand, and Raporio warns you.
