ex.”Atherosclerotic calcification is noted in the aortic arch.”
“is noted” is unnecessary and can be omitted with no loss of information to the reader. The sentence can be rewritten:
“Atherosclerotic calcification in the aortic arch.”
This is an extremely common clear writing faux pas. A descriptive sentence appearing in a report IS the note! No need to waste words telling the reader you noted a finding while they are reading your note about the finding.
I’d rewrite the example sentence simply as “Atherosclerotic aorta.” or “Calcified aortic arch.”
The vast majority of times we describe a calcified aorta on chest radiograph it’s more or less just thinking out loud. Rarely is this information of clinical use. If you want to say it, make it as brief as possible.
