Radiology reporting glossary

Practical criteria for evaluating radiology reporting software by workflow, buyer profile, and technical requirement.

PACS in radiology

PACS is the imaging layer. Laudos.AI should fit after it, receiving context and returning the report to workflow.

RIS organizes scheduling, status, and operations. The reporting editor should respect that source of truth.

HL7 remains essential in legacy environments; integration should be treated as an operational project.

DICOM carries images and technical context. Structured reporting should preserve useful context.

Structured reporting reduces risky variation without blocking clinical language when it matters.

A critical finding requires traceable communication, acknowledgement, and a service-defined policy.
