Patient question
Before an international cardiology specialty teleconsultation, how should the translation of test reports be handled?
Answer reviewed by Li Yan, Chief Physician
Professional answer
First confirm with the consultation organization the accepted languages, file format, whether certified translation is required, and how to upload images. Keep the original reports, and make sure the translation corresponds to dates, test names, and key data; do not rewrite medical conclusions on your own. Clearly mark any uncertainties in the translation and request professional verification.
