Thyroid Nodule TIRADS Reporting Tool - VAK

The Thyroid Reporting Tool is a streamlined, radiologist and sonographer-centric reporting assistant designed to standardize thyroid ultrasound reports while minimizing dictation and editing time.

The tool is built around structured input with intelligent defaults, ensuring that normal findings auto-populate clean, complete report statements, while abnormal findings can be added rapidly without breaking report flow.

Core Features

1. Structured, anatomy-based layout

Separate sections for:

Right thyroid lobe
Left thyroid lobe
Isthmus

Each lobe is clearly separated in the final report (no inline clutter), improving readability and audit compliance.

2. Nodule-focused workflow (without forcing TI-RADS)

Each nodule is reported as a distinct block, including:

Location (right/left, superior/mid/inferior)

Size
Composition, echogenicity, margins, calcifications (where applicable)
“TR” or risk category appears on a new line, ensuring clarity and preventing run-on text.

TI-RADS scoring is optional and can be excluded if the radiologist prefers narrative assessment or uses a separate tool.

3. Intelligent spacing and formatting

Automatically:
Inserts line breaks between lobes and nodules
Prevents sonographer text from appearing as a single paragraph
Maintains consistent spacing across different exam types
Produces a clean, publication-ready report with minimal manual editing.

4. Normal-by-default logic
If no abnormal option is selected:
The tool generates a concise, standard normal thyroid statement
Avoids unnecessary “no abnormality” clutter while ensuring completeness.

5. Integrated comments (no “Other Comments” section)
Free-text inputs are merged naturally into the report
Prevents disjointed subsections and keeps reports clinically readable.

6. Dark-mode friendly
Optimized for PACS reading environments
Reduces eye strain during prolonged reporting sessions.

Clinical Value
Reduces reporting time
Improves consistency across radiologists
Minimizes post-dictation editing

Produces reports that are:
Clear for referrers
Structured for MDTs
Audit- and guideline-friendly
