Radiologists don’t need a reminder that there are a lot of things wrong with radiology reports.
Curtis Langlotz, MD, PhD, professor of radiology and medicine at Stanford University Medical Center wrote a book, released earlier this month, on how to improve the radiology report.
The Radiology Report: A Guide to Thoughtful Communication for Radiologists and Other Medical Professionals touches on many of the challenges radiology reports present, including the general disagreement of what actually constitutes a good radiology report. The book offers helpful, actionable advice on creating radiology reports.
But it also mentions one of the greatest frustrations of the radiology report: technology. Here, we’ve assembled 11 speech recognition bloopers Langlotz describes in his book. Because if we don’t laugh, we’ll cry.

i like this rejoinder from a Medical transcriptionist a job category going the DODO way
Apparently he snot a wear of the impotence of proofreading.
"He should have followed these two Pisces of advice: One: There is no prostitute for careful editing. And three: When it comes to proofreading, the red penis your friend." From Taylor Mali's poem called, The Impotence of Proofreading.
