Radiology Editing and Proofreading Services

A radiology report is a consultation delivered entirely in writing, to a clinician the radiologist will probably never speak to, about images that clinician may not be able to interpret. Everything depends on the words. A report that describes findings beautifully but leaves the referring question unanswered has failed, however accurate it is — and a hedged impression that avoids committing simply relocates the decision to someone with less information.

We edit what radiology services produce — report templates and structured reporting protocols, impression and recommendation conventions, critical and urgent finding communication policies, incidental finding follow-up guidance, protocol and appropriateness criteria documentation, contrast administration and reaction management procedures, patient information for imaging procedures, radiation dose and justification documentation, teleradiology service agreements and turnaround standards, peer review and discrepancy meeting material, and manuscripts and case reports. Our editors make sure the impression answers the clinical question asked and that recommendations name a specific next step and interval.

The impression is the part everyone reads and the only part many referrers read. We rewrite impressions so they lead with the answer to the referring question, state diagnostic confidence in consistent language, and separate the significant finding from the incidental one — because a critical result listed fourth in a five-item impression is a result waiting to be missed. Where follow-up is advised, we make it specific enough to book: which study, which interval, and why.

Everything you send is treated confidentially, including discrepancy and peer review material. Whether you are a department standardising structured reports, writing a policy for communicating critical findings, or preparing a manuscript in English as an additional language, we can make the writing do the consultative work it exists to do.
