Radiology reports
radiology
The radiology table contains free-text radiology reports associated with radiography imaging. Radiology reports cover a variety of imaging modalities: x-ray, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, and so on. Free-text radiology reports are semi-structured and usually follow a consistent template for a given imaging protocol.

note_id
A unique identifier for the given note. note_id is composed of subject_id, the note_type (always two characters long), and a monotonically increasing integer, note_seq, in the following format: subject_id-note_type-note_seq.
subject_id
{{% include "/static/include/subject_id.md" %}}
hadm_id
{{% include "/static/include/hadm_id.md" %}}
note_type
The type of note recorded in the row. There are two types of note:
- 'RR' - radiology report
- 'AR' - radiology report addendum
note_seq
A monotonically increasing integer which chronologically sorts the notes within note_type categories. That is, notes can be ordered sequentially by note_seq.
charttime
The time at which the note was charted - this is usually the most relevant time for interpreting the content of the note, but it is not necessarily when the note was fully written.
storetime
The time at which the note was stored in the database. This is usually when the note was completed and signed.
