Use arabic numerals for all numbers.
Subject: Use arabic numerals for all numbers.
The current standard in transcription is to use arabic numerals (1, 2, 3...)for all numbers, even under the number 10, because they stand out on the page and are less likely to be overlooked or misinterpreted.

numbers - type out versus arabic
Question: What is the rule of thumb: In a report I know it is in medication and measurements like 5 mg and 5 inches. But what about in dictation? 5 weeks or five weeks, 5 children or five children. I know BOS changed their policy on using more arabic numbers instead of typing out. Can someone advise what is the preferred way? Does it apply something to things or objects versus units of time like 5 weeks or 5 days? Thank you.

In BOS under ordinal numbers, 1st, is used for series, e.g. 1st digit, 4th rib, etc.

but since bilateral means 2-sides, I would think you could leave it singular as bilateral explains how many.

It's also about the angle, and I've had 'no doubt' kind of dictators that use them...My presumption was that it was a short-hand way of saying up-biting (or down-biting, as I've used down curette, too).

I've always been told to type it "BI-RADS" but since it stands for "Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System," I don't see any reason why there should be a dash, and if you Google it there are a lot of sites that do not use the dash.
Comments?

now "always"...before I offend someone else who has been told to type it with roman numerals. Been doing this too long and have seen too many facilities/radiologists set their own rules on how they want it typed and it basically boils down to the fact that it's their report..they call the shots.

I think it is account specific. Many docs and hospitals still prefer the roman numerals, and I think it looks better too, IMO.
