Use of reporting templates for chest radiographs in a coronavirus disease 2019 context: measuring concordance of radiologists with three international templates.

Purpose: Reporting templates for chest radiographs (CXRs) for patients presenting or being clinically managed for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 [coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)] has attracted advocacy from international radiology societies. We aim to explore the effectiveness and useability of three international templates through the concordance of, and between, radiologists reporting on the presence and severity of COVID-19 on CXRs.

Approach: Seventy CXRs were obtained from a referral hospital, 50 from patients with COVID-19 (30 rated "classic" COVID-19 appearance and 20 "indeterminate") and 10 "normal" and 10 "alternative pathology" CXRs.

Assessing the implementation of COVID-19 structured reporting templates for chest radiography: a scoping review.

Objective: One of the common modalities used in imaging COVID-19 positive patients is chest radiography (CXR), and serves as a valuable imaging method to diagnose and monitor a patients' condition. Structured reporting templates are regularly used for the assessment of COVID-19 CXRs and are supported by international radiological societies. This review has investigated the use of structured templates for reporting COVID-19 CXRs.
