Abstract
 We believe a significance of input templates for a medical images reporting system. They would make us enable not only data transport, but quality control of medical records. The forms of templates were divided into three types: a) a form that consisted chiefly of a textbox(ex. A report for radiological studies), b) a form that consisted chiefly of the fields which require numeric data(ex. A report for echocardiography studies), c) a multi-layered report form(ex. A report for gastrointestinal endoscopies implemented MST(Minimal Standard Terminology)). We analyzed the requirements of each template types, and developed “Customizable Framework System(CFS)” which provides flexible preparation of templates meet them. CFS is running as a Web application server that provides us a large number of user interfaces through a web browser. The system has a great advantage of at aching personal templates to a reporting database. The templates generated by CFS will give us a useful input environment and an output form. We suggested “multi-sequence reporting system” which allows physicians making two or more reports for one study. Multi-sequence reports are available when we need report fields for a second opinion or for a special protocol of a clinical trial.
