French researchers aim for standardization in CT reporting

CT has emerged as a critical validation tool in assessing tumors. Yet radiology has an image problem with oncologists. Standardization of reporting should help convince oncologists about the value of imaging for assessing treatment, and ensure radiologists improve their reporting quality, according to French researchers.
