Breast ultrasound (BUS) is often performed as an adjunct to mammography in breast cancer screening or for evaluating breast lesions. Our aim was to design a practical and user-friendly format for BUS that could include the details of the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System.
As a team of radiologists and surgeons trained in the management of breast diseases, we gathered and carried out the project in four phases-literature search and collection of present report formats, summarizing key points and preparing the first draft, seeking expert opinion and preparing the final format, and pilot testing-followed by a survey was answered by the research team's radiologists and surgeons.
It produced a list of items to be stated in the BUS report, the final BUS report format, and the pilot format guide. Then, the radiologists used the format in three active ultrasound units in university-affiliated centers, and reports were referred to the surgeons. At the end of the project, the survey showed a high degree of ease of use, clarity, conciseness, comprehensiveness, and well-classified structure of the report format; but radiologists believed that the new organization took more time.
We propose our design as a user-friendly and practical format for BUS reports. It should be used for a longer time and by various ultrasound centers in order to ascertain its benefits.
在乳腺癌筛查或评估乳腺病变时，乳腺超声（BUS）常作为乳腺X线摄影的辅助检查。我们的目的是设计一种实用且用户友好的BUS报告格式，该格式可包含乳腺影像报告和数据系统的详细信息。
作为一支在乳腺疾病管理方面接受过培训的放射科医生和外科医生团队，我们分四个阶段开展并完成了该项目——文献检索和收集当前报告格式、总结要点并编写初稿、征求专家意见并确定最终格式，以及进行试点测试，随后由研究团队的放射科医生和外科医生进行问卷调查。
得出了BUS报告中应陈述的项目清单、最终的BUS报告格式以及试点格式指南。然后，放射科医生在大学附属医院的三个活跃超声科室使用了该格式，并将报告提交给外科医生。在项目结束时，调查显示报告格式具有高度的易用性、清晰度、简洁性、全面性和良好的分类结构；但放射科医生认为新的结构需要更多时间。
我们建议将我们的设计作为一种用户友好且实用的BUS报告格式。应在更长时间内由不同的超声中心使用，以确定其益处。
