Abstract: Objective To evaluate training course on the standardization of image report writing in medical imaging residency training in order to improve the uniformity of image report writing and report quality. Methods Residents who attended medical imaging training facility for study between September 2020 and September 2021 were divided into experimental and control groups according to whether or not they received lectures on imaging report standards. Tencent quiz software was used to evaluate the mastery of imaging report writing standards by two groups of residents. Results The results of resident self-assessment showed that the residents in the experimental group improved significantly in terms of reporting format specification, description of lesion-related secondary signs, report conclusion, report content, and total score of reporting standard after 6 months of training(P<0.05). The results of instructor evaluation showed that the experimental group had better reporting standard and quality evaluation indexes than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions The lecture on image report writing standard has a positive impact on the mastering of image report writing standard and the promotion of report quality by medical imaging training residents.
