After your imaging exam, a radiologist reads the images and reports what they see to your referring doctor. You can use this dictionary to look up words in your report.

Enter a word in the search bar or look it up by letter. This dictionary is for educational purposes only. It should not be used for self-diagnosis or self-treatment. It is not a substitute for medical advice. Please talk to the doctor who ordered your exam if you have any questions about your report.
