⚡ Quick Report Generation
Quick Reports (Generate Quick Report)
The default home tab is Generate Quick Report. Here you get a Quick Reports screen: case details at the top, then—after you set up the workspace—a scratchpad for your findings, a row of coverage chips that show which review areas are addressed, and optional smart prompts beside the editor that suggest related imaging points you may not have covered yet.
How to use it
- 1. Open Generate Quick Report in the sidebar (this opens when you sign in).
- 2. Under Case details, enter Clinical history and Scan type. You can collapse this strip later to focus on dictation.
- 3. Click Set up workspace. The app builds a tailored review checklist and opens the scratchpad.
- 4. Dictate or type into the scratchpad. Chips turn green as each checklist area is meaningfully covered. Smart prompts (and optional CONSIDER-style hints) nudge you toward related structures to review—tap How to use in the workspace for short tips.
- 5. Click Generate Report. You get a full structured report (e.g. COMPARISON, LIMITATIONS, FINDINGS, IMPRESSION) in NHS-style prose.
Tips
- If you change clinical history or scan type after setup, the workspace dims until you tap Regenerate workspace (or the same button when it pulses)—this keeps the checklist aligned with the case.
- If you edit the scratchpad after a report is generated, a banner reminds you that the report may be out of date—regenerate to refresh it.
- If you step away mid-case, you may see an offer to restore your previous work when you come back.
Example scratchpad input: "4cm spiculated mass RUL, right paratracheal nodes 2cm, small left effusion" — the AI still turns this into structured sections with appropriate medical language.
Choosing Quick Reports vs custom reports
Quick Reports — fastest path when you don't need a saved template: same workspace idea, no template library step. Generate Custom Report — pick a template so output follows your department's structure and voice; the generation area uses a very similar workspace pattern (see below).
💡 When to use Quick Reports: One-off cases, on-call reads, or whenever you want instant structuring without maintaining a template. For repeatable, standardised wording, use Template Report Generation.
📋 Template Report Generation
Using Templates to Generate Reports
Generate reports using your custom templates for consistent formatting and style. After you select a template, the page shows case-style fields and the same workspace pattern as Quick Reports: Set up workspace builds a review checklist—often aligned with your template's findings structure—then you use the scratchpad, coverage chips, and dictation before Generate Report.
To generate a report
- 1. In the sidebar, open Generate Custom Report.
- 2. Browse templates (grid or kanban), search, and filter by tags as needed.
- 3. Click a template card
The card highlights and the generation area opens below with fields your template requires (e.g. clinical history, comparison).
- 4. Complete the template fields, then tap Set up workspace so the checklist matches your template's findings layout.
- 5. Dictate or type findings in the scratchpad; watch the chips, then click Generate Report. The finished report appears in the viewer below.
Template Organization
Everything in one place: Sidebar → "Generate Custom Report" tab shows template selection, creation, and management all on one page
Page Structure:

✏️ Template Editor Interface
Edit existing templates through the same 3-tab structure as the wizard (just condensed into tabs instead of steps)
Three Tabs (Same as Wizard Steps):
Quick Edit Tab
Basic info and structure configuration:
- • Name, description, tags, pinning
- • Scan type, contrast, protocol details
- • Section configuration (which sections to include, order, input fields)
- • Global custom instructions
Wizard equivalent: Basics and section builder steps
Findings Tab
Content style selection and writing configuration:
- • Choose content style (Normal/Guided/Structured/Checklist)
- • Write/edit template content for selected style
- • Configure writing style optimizations (all the granular controls)
- • Section-specific instructions
Wizard equivalent: Findings part of the content step
Impression Tab
Impression generation configuration:
- • Display name (rename "IMPRESSION" if needed)
- • Verbosity (Brief/Prose), format (prose/bullets/numbered)
- • Differential diagnosis style, recommendations, clinical correlation
- • Section-specific instructions
Wizard equivalent: Impression part of the content step
Creating Templates: Template Wizard
Open + Create Template to launch the wizard. A progress bar shows Step X of 4—use Previous / Next to move. No technical knowledge required.
An alternative path to build templates from pasted example reports may be added in a future update; today the guided steps below are what you'll see.
Basics
Template name, description, tags, pin for quick access, scan type, contrast (none / IV / other), phases if relevant, protocol notes, and optional global instructions for the AI.
Section builder
Choose which sections appear (e.g. comparison, technique, limitations, clinical history), whether they need input fields, and the order they appear in the report.
Findings & impression
ImportantPick your findings content style, write or paste template text, tune writing options, then configure the impression (verbosity, format, differentials, recommendations). This step has the most impact on how reports read.
Review & save
Preview the full configuration, try sample generation if offered, then save. When editing an existing template, you can also save from other steps using Save Changes.
💡 Template Writing Guide
📋 Normal Template
Write brief, standard normal statements using concise, gold-standard language:
"The liver, spleen and pancreas are unremarkable."
"The pleural spaces are clear with no effusion or pneumothorax."
📝 Guided Template
Add // comments like colleague annotations—provide context on what to assess:
// Comment on study adequacy and technical factors first
The trachea and main bronchi are patent and of normal calibre.
// Assess: endoluminal lesions, extrinsic compression, abnormal tracheal configuration
The mediastinum is of normal width and contour.
// This section covers lymphadenopathy, masses, and vascular structures📐 Structured Fill-In Template
Use exact placeholder syntax for precise control:
LVEF is {LVEF}%. Use for specific named values. Limit to 5-7 critical measurements. Highlighted green if unfilled.
The lesion measures xxx cm in diameter. Generic measurement blanks (always lowercase). AI extracts from findings. Highlighted yellow if unfilled.
The ventricle is [normal/dilated/hypertrophied].
Function is [preserved/reduced]. // Keep all headers in UPPERCASE
// Report only if abnormality present Actionable AI guidance (stripped from output). Use sparingly at key decision points.
✓ Systematic Checklist
Create a bullet list with parenthetical guidance:
- Lungs (parenchyma, nodules, consolidation, interstitial changes)
- Pleural spaces (effusions, pneumothorax, thickening)
- Mediastinum (lymph nodes, vessels, airways, thymus)
- Heart and pericardium (size, effusion, calcifications)
- Chest wall and bones (soft tissue, ribs, vertebrae)
- Upper abdomen (liver, spleen, adrenals if visible)🎯 Writing Style Optimizations
Configure in the wizard's Findings & impression step, or in the template editor's Findings and Impression tabs
Primary Choice
AI matches your template's established voice and sentence structure (best for institutional consistency)
Concise (essentials only) or Prose (balanced detail)
Prose paragraphs, bullet points, or numbered lists
Clinical priority (critical first) or exact template order
Differential diagnosis, recommendations, subsection headers
📚 Template Report Generation Sections:
🕒 History Tab
Overview
The History tab lists reports from Generate Quick Report and Generate Custom Report. In filters, Quick Reports are labelled Auto Report (legacy name in the list). Browse, search, filter, and manage your library from the sidebar.

✨ Report Enhancement
How to access enhancement
- 1. After generating a report, three enhancement cards appear above the report: Guidelines, Comparison, and Chat.
- 2. Click a card — a sidebar opens on the right with tabs for that feature.
- 3. In the report viewer, you can also open the QA audit panel (see below) for an automated quality pass on the text.
Clinical Guidelines
Automatic literature search for each finding in your report
What You Get:
AI Chat
Conversational report improvement with surgical edit proposals
How It Works:
<<<old text>>> new text <<<QA audit (report viewer)
When you view a generated report, RadFlow can run a quality audit on the text. A panel summarises how the report scores on several dimensions—such as whether the wording matches the findings, whether the impression covers what matters, language clarity, and whether anything needs a safety or follow-up flag.
What to expect: You may see passes, gentle warnings, or items to review. Passages in the report can be highlighted; click them to read the rationale. If you edit the report, the audit may show as out of date until you run it again.
Tip: Use the audit as a structured second check—especially before signing off complex cases. It complements Guidelines and Chat; it does not replace clinical judgment.
📊 Interval Comparison Analysis

🎤 Voice Dictation
Wherever you see a microphone (🎤)—including the Quick Reports and custom-report scratchpad—you can dictate instead of typing. Transcription is tuned for medical vocabulary and updates as you speak.
Availability: Dictation must be enabled for your organisation. If you never see mic icons, ask your administrator.
Real-time dictation
Transcript appears as you speak
- 1. Click the microphone in the field you want to fill
- 2. Allow the microphone if your browser asks
- 3. Speak naturally; pause or stop the recording when you are done
- 4. If several microphones are listed, pick the one you are actually using (helpful for headsets or Bluetooth devices)
Smart prompts in the workspace
In the scratchpad workspace, optional CONSIDER-style prompts may appear beside the editor. They suggest imaging-related points you might still review, based on what you have already dictated. Open How to use next to the workspace title for a quick guide. Prompts update as your text changes.
Tips for best results
- • Reduce background noise when possible
- • Medical terms and common abbreviations are recognised well
- • You can switch streaming style in Settings if your organisation offers that option
⚙️ Settings & Configuration
🎤 Dictation (administrator setup)
Organisations enable dictation centrally. Once switched on, microphone controls appear for all users without per-user setup.
For IT / administrators
- 1. Create a medical transcription key from Deepgram
- 2. Configure the server with that key and restart the service so the app can reach the dictation provider
- 3. Confirm that microphone icons (🎤) appear in the app for a test account
⚙️ Other Settings
