Report Critique

Paste a draft radiology report. Get structured educational feedback in seconds.

What it does

Report Critique evaluates a draft radiology report along four axes:

1. Completeness: are the expected findings, comparisons, and conclusions present for the indication?
2. Terminology: is RadLex-aligned terminology used? Are ambiguous or dated terms flagged?
3. Structure: does the report follow a recognised template as per the RCR guidance (technique, comparison, findings, impression)?
4. Clarity: is the impression actionable? Is the language hedged appropriately for the evidence?

Feedback is educational. The tool is designed for trainees preparing for FRCR Part 2B and consultants who want a reflective check on their reporting style.

Regulatory status

Report Critique is professional medical education and is not a medical device.

What to paste

• Pre-anonymised reports only. Do not paste any patient-identifiable information. Strip names, dates of birth, NHS numbers, hospital identifiers, accession numbers, and any free-text references that could identify a patient.
• Drafts you have written or that have been pre-anonymised by your training programme for educational use.

What it will not do

• It will not interpret the underlying images. Report Critique reviews text, not pixels.
• It will not give clinical recommendations on patient management.
• It will not assess whether the radiological diagnosis itself is correct. The tool gives feedback on the report, not the radiology.

How to get the most out of it

• Use it for reports you have already drafted. Critique-then-revise is more valuable than critique-as-replacement.
• For viva preparation, paste a report and read the critique aloud as if defending your draft to a senior colleague.
• For teaching, paste an exemplar and ask the trainee to predict the critique before revealing it.
