Have a question I need help with. I work in a family practice clinic. Our x-rays are read by a hospital radiologist and transcribed at the hospital. Perhaps I am a bit anal about this but there is a term that the hospital transcriptionist uses over and over on head CT, cervical spine x-rays - the term is: Scobi structures?? I cannot find scobi anywhere in my reference material. Is anyone familiar with that term? I am thinking more along the lines of skull base structures are normal. I appreciate your input. Deb

Thanks everyone for replying. I had x-ray tech talk to the radiologist and he is saying skull base structures. Now how to tactfully tell the hospital MT. She is not always open to any corrections. I think I will let the x-ray dept take care of it. Not everyone likes corrections. I definitely want someone to correct me if I am making a mistake so I do not continue to make the same mistakes over and over!

We can't see the rest of the report and what might be dozens of clues. Does the patient have cancer?
If people take time to read and try to help, please take the time to provide some clues. When we can't understand a word in our own reports, it's the whole report we draw from.
