WEB—This is a Web exclusive article.

I thank Dr. Pochaczevsky for his insightful comments. I certainly agree with his observation that "a well-written radiology report is essential in all cases," but that "simple arrows and a few written, easily understood comments" can provide more graphic information to referring physicians and thus enhance the report [1].

There is no debate that the primary goal of the radiologist when rendering an interpretation of a radiologic examination is to formulate that interpretation in a manner that accurately and clearly informs the referring physician as to what the radiologist sees, what the radiologist thinks the images represent, what the radiologist thinks the referring physician should conclude, and what the radiologist thinks the referring physician should do next. Anything that assists the radiologist in achieving this goal—be it a written, pictorial, or other graphic annotation in addition to a text that backs it up—should be applauded.
