Infant hip ultrasound (Graf) report template
A structured infant hip ultrasound (graf) report template used for paediatric hip ultrasound. It covers 4 sections and 14 fields, and includes a one-click normal preset.
Technique
Ultrasound of both hips in the standard coronal plane (Graf), with transverse flexion stress views.
Sample normal infant hip ultrasound (graf) report
This is the text SonoTez generates when the doctor applies the template's normal preset. Measurements are left for the doctor to enter.
Technique
Ultrasound of both hips in the standard coronal plane (Graf), with transverse flexion stress views.
Findings
Right hip
The right femoral head is centred and stable on stress.
Left hip
The left femoral head is centred and stable on stress.
Impression
Both hips are normally developed and stable.

Writing the impression
Answer the clinical question first, list the remaining findings in order of importance, and keep anything new out of the impression. If a structure was not fully seen, say so and give the reason. See how to write an ultrasound report for wording and certainty terms.
