RadiDox uses our MDx Structured Templates specifically designed for Radiology reports. Our templates are enabled with our proprietary, point and click MDx Technology that speeds report completion. Speech recognition is used to record positive findings and all impressions except normal impressions.

Do you have templates for all modalities?

Your staff will no longer have to receive, fax, and file transcribed reports.
