Treatment and prognosis (article structure)
Updates to Article Attributes
Treatment and prognosis is one of the fifth subheadingmain subheadings in a standard article.
Location
The "Treatment and prognosis" subheading is located after "Radiographic features" and before "History and etymology".
Structure
Pertinent information regarding the treatment of the condition including options involving operative and non-operative management should be included. Radiologists routinely follow patients pre- and post-treatment and thus having a knowledge of common treatments is important as to recognise normal and abnormal post-treatment imaging features.
Some radiographic features are also extremely pertinent to prognosis (e.g. portal venous gas in the setting of bowel ischaemia) and being able to recognise these can help value-add to radiology reports, support the clinical decision making of our colleagues and most importantly provide optimum care for our patients.
A subheading complications can also be included and these tend to reflect longer-term sequelae of the condition and/or treatment. For example, pneumonia as a complication of rib fractures.
