The American College of Radiology (ACR) has introduced ACR Assist, a vendor-neutral software application designed to help radiologists produce structured, actionable reports.
ACR Assist provides access to taxonomies, care pathways, and algorithms at the point of interpretation, along with classification and communication guidance, the organization said.
Its collection of structured information includes raw clinical content, an encoding scheme for the content to be consumed by commercial applications, and a communication framework that facilitates content delivery.
In addition, clinical components include computer-readable versions of structured classification and reporting taxonomies, such as Lung-RADS, LI-RADS for liver imaging, and PI-RADS for prostate imaging.
