| Abstract |
The generation of a report of findings and a conclusion for an imaging study is a fundamental process in the diagnostic work-up of cancer patients and plays a critical role in treatment decisions. It is therefore important that cancer imaging specialists understand the needs of referring clinicians and can perform this process in a methodical manner. Surprisingly, in contrast to the literature regarding the outcomes of imaging, education regarding the methods that underpin the generation of a report and how to communicate the findings cogently to referring clinicians is rather sparse. In an upcoming series of articles that will appear in in Cancer Imaging, experts in various modalities will detail their approach to reporting scans in particular disease settings. In this article some personal perspectives on the process of reporting scans will be detailed as a guide to what will be elaborated in the "Master Class Series". |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 April 2016.
All research outputs
#4,239,729
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Cancer Imaging
#35
of 674 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#63,037
of 316,337 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cancer Imaging
#2
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 674 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.4. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 316,337 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 5 of them.
