FOREWORD
Rapid reporting foreword
The rapid reporting section consists of 30 films, the duration is 30 minutes. These are a mix of normals and abnormals. The answer paper is divided into three sections – normal, abnormal and pathology as shown below
Film no ---- Normal ---- Abnormal ---- Abnormality

Every film should be marked as “normal” or “abnormal” and the abnormality identified in abnormal cases. Though there are no fixed division between the number of normal and abnormal films, one can usually expect upto 40-60 % abnormals. Most films are plain radiographs and majority of abnormals relate to accident and emergency settings – expect a lot of trauma films. Normal variants and degenerative changes are normal.
The rapid reporting segment is widely believed to be the most critical part of the exam. One has to get 27/30 films correct. Practice is the key….do as many rapid reporting packets as possible. Make your own lists of review areas for every radiograph (eg. base of fifth metatarsal in ankle radiograph) and go over these review areas in every film that seems normal.
We will be posting rapid reporting packets of 30 films each on a regular basis. We will also putup tips for Rapid reporting (“A & E pearls”) and review areas for different radiographs.
