The method and system store multiple structured reports associated with corresponding IR procedures. Multiple anatomical atlases are stored that correspond to separate vascular districts. The method and system collect IR data corresponding to a select IR procedure and a vascular district of interest and obtain a candidate anatomical atlas from the multiple anatomical atlases based on the IR data. The candidate anatomical atlas illustrates the vascular district model associated with the select IR procedure. The method and system create a structured report based on the collected IR data, the structured report including the candidate anatomical atlas illustrating the vascular district model associated with the select IR procedure. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer system for providing interventional radiology (IR), the computer system comprising: memory storing program instructions and multiple structured reports associated with corresponding IR procedures, the structured reports including sets of data entry sheets, graphical worksheets and text reporting worksheets having a predetermined format and data entry fields uniquely associated with a corresponding aspect of an IR procedure, and the memory further storing multiple anatomical atlases that correspond to separate vascular districts, the anatomical atlases including a vascular district model for vascular segments, branches and nodes within the corresponding vascular district;
