The aim of this study discusses the gap between the patient web portal and providing a full radiology report. A literature review was conducted to examine radiologists, physicians, and patients' opinions and preferences of providing patients with online access radiology reports. The databases searched were Pubmed and Google Scholar and the initial search included 927 studies. After review, 47 studies were included in the study. We identified several themes, including patients' understanding of radiology reports and radiological images, as well as the need for decreasing the turnaround time for reports availability. The existing radiology reports written for physicians are not suited for patients. Further studies are needed to guide and inform the design of patient friendly radiology reports. One of the ways that can be used to fill the gap between patients and radiology reports is using social media sites.
本研究旨在探讨患者门户与提供完整放射学报告之间的差距。通过文献回顾，考察了放射科医生、内科医生和患者对为患者提供在线放射学报告的意见和偏好。检索的数据库包括 PubMed 和 Google Scholar，最初的搜索包括 927 项研究。经过审查，有 47 项研究被纳入研究。我们确定了几个主题，包括患者对放射学报告和放射图像的理解，以及减少报告可用性周转时间的需求。为内科医生编写的现有放射学报告不适合患者。需要进一步的研究来指导和告知设计患者友好的放射学报告。可以用来填补患者和放射学报告之间差距的方法之一是使用社交媒体网站。
