How should I read a medical report from a Shanghai hospital?

A practical, general-information answer for international patients considering medical care in Shanghai.

Answer

Start with the diagnosis or impression, then review the test date, measurements, comparison with earlier studies and recommended follow-up. Ask the treating clinician to explain unfamiliar terms rather than relying on a single line in the report.
