CT angio impression - travelinMT
[ In Reply To ..]normal focus of parasegments on the right................................
Abnornal hilar lymph node adenopathy...... with asytmmetric enlargement of nodes axial-lateral, left
greater than right.
I think it's pleural segments (not parasegments) sm - elaine
[ In Reply To ..]I also think "abnormal focus" makes more sense here.
Could doc be saying: "bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy" (rather than "abnormal")?

IMPRESSION Vs IMPRESSIONS
Dec 29, 2014
I've been an MT for over 10 years and have always just typed IMPRESSION, even when there are multiples, but I'm seeing other MT's type "IMPRESSIONS" and also "PLANS" when there are more than one, even when the doctor is only dictating IMPRESSION (though we would change DIAGNOSIS to SES if more than one but not dictated). I searched the archives and found one mention of this before, but there wasn't much conclusion on the matter. So what say ye? ...

I know that according to AAMT we are not supposed to put abbreviations in the Impression/Diagnoses sections, but does that include ALL abbreviations? Or just ones pertaining to diseases? For instance, are we supposed to spell out MRI in the impression? Or just diseases, like PUD or COPD? I'm a bit confused because I put "MRI" in the impression and QA left that as is, but I also put "PT" and they expanded it out to "physical therapy." Does anyone know? Thanks in a ...
Warning: Don't Expand BPH In The Diagnosis/impression, Leave As Is.
Mar 21, 2013
I got a style error minor deduction for this, because it could also refer to "benign prostatic hyperplasia." I was actually aware of this terminology controversy in the medical community in terms of what the actual meaning is, but I've never once had "benign prostatic hyperplasia" dictated in over 18 years of MT, regardless (has anyone else?). However, I should somehow intuit that Nuance wants it done this way (though I've been expanding it for over 2 years now with never a corre ...

These images were viewed with *MIP* projection from multiple perspectives. ...
