Guidance Document for Structured Reporting of Diuresis Renography

摘要: This Guidance Document for structured reporting of diuresis renography in adults was developed by the International Scientific Committee Radionuclides Nephro-urology (ISCORN; http://www.iscorn.org). ISCORN chose its first report because suspected obstruction is most common reason referral, radionuclide renal studies are conducted at institutions that perform fewer than 3 per week, and a large percentage interpreted physicians with limited training nuclear medicine. Ten panelists were asked to categorize specific elements as essential, recommended, optional (without sufficient data support higher ranking), unnecessary (does not contribute scan interpretation or quality assurance). The final document through an iterative series comments questionnaires majority vote required place element category. recommends structure organized into indications, clinical history, study procedure, findings impression specifies considered essential recommended each intended be restrictive but, rather, provide basic rationale so will: (1) communicate results referring physician clear concise manner designed optimize patient care; (2) contain evaluate interpret study; (3) clearly technical components necessary accountability, assurance reimbursement; (4) encourage research facilitating better comparison extrapolation between institutions.
