Example: “There is no significant FDG avidity in the left breast to suggest residual FDG avid malignancy. There is no evidence of abnormal FDG uptake or lymphadenopathy in the left axilla to suggest FDG avid lymphadenopathy.”

Flesch-Kincaid reading level  =  13.8; reading ease score = 27.1  

Possible rewrite: “No significant abnormal FDG activity in the left breast or axilla. No enlarged lymph nodes.”

Flesch-Kincaid reading level = 7.7; reading ease score = 52.5

The example mixes findings and impressions making the sentence more complicated by duplicating information that should be in the report impression, ex.”Impression: No FDG avid residual, recurrent or metastatic tumor.” Or more simply “No FDG avid tumor.”
