Radiology Reports With Hyperlinks Improve Target Lesion Selection and Measurement Concordance in Cancer Trials

摘要

OBJECTIVERadiology reports often lack the measurements of target lesions that are needed for oncology clinical trials. When available, the measurements in the radiology reports often do not match those in the records used to calculate therapeutic response. This study assessed the clinical value of hyperlinked tumor measurements in multimedia-enhanced radiology reports in the PACS and the inclusion of a radiologist assistant in the process of assessing tumor burden.
