  		Fig. 1. —Diagram shows process flow for structured radiology reporting module. If report is typed directly into software, then first two steps can be omitted. In addition, natural language processing module may also be replaced by structured report input. System allows easy visualization and editing of reports.

  		Fig. 2. —Screen capture of graphic user interface of structured radiology reporting module shows relevant patient information in top panel. In left panel, interface shows augmented free text display with radiologic findings highlighted in red and anatomic sites in green. Negative findings (e.g., pleural effusion) are crossed out automatically. Center panel shows schematic of lung anatomy with findings displayed as an overlay. Selection of region on this schematic highlights findings present at that location. In right panel, tabular view of findings and attributes is shown. Lower row panel allows users to edit structured output.
