Identification of Incidental Pulmonary Nodules in Free-text Radiology Reports: An Initial Investigation.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Advances in image quality produced by computed tomography (CT) and the growth in the number of image studies currently performed has made the management of incidental pulmonary nodules (IPNs) a challenging task. This research aims to identify IPNs in...

Proposal of Local Automatic Weighing Attribute in CBIR.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Lung cancer is the most common malignant lesion and the principal cause of cancer-related death worldwide. This problem encourages researchers to build computer-aided solutions to help diagnose lung cancer. Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system...

Acquiring Plausible Predications from MEDLINE by Clustering MeSH Annotations.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The massive accumulation of biomedical knowledge is reflected by the growth of the literature database MEDLINE with over 23 million bibliographic records. All records are manually indexed by MeSH descriptors, many of them refined by MeSH subheadings....

Automated Detection of Postoperative Surgical Site Infections Using Supervised Methods with Electronic Health Record Data.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The National Surgical Quality Improvement Project (NSQIP) is widely recognized as "the best in the nation" surgical quality improvement resource in the United States. In particular, it rigorously defines postoperative morbidity outcomes, including su...

Conceptual Knowledge Discovery in Databases for Drug Combinations Predictions in Malignant Melanoma.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The worldwide incidence of melanoma is rising faster than any other cancer, and prognosis for patients with metastatic disease is poor. Current targeted therapies are limited in their durability and/or effect size in certain patient populations due t...

Automated Learning of Temporal Expressions.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Clinical notes contain important temporal information that are critical for making clinical diagnosis and treatment as well as for retrospective analyses. Manually created regular expressions are commonly used for the extraction of temporal informati...

An Approach for Automatic Classification of Radiology Reports in Spanish.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Automatic detection of relevant terms in medical reports is useful for educational purposes and for clinical research. Natural language processing (NLP) techniques can be applied in order to identify them. In this work we present an approach to class...

Identifying Patients with Depression Using Free-text Clinical Documents.

Studies in health technology and informatics
About 1 in 10 adults are reported to exhibit clinical depression and the associated personal, societal, and economic costs are significant. In this study, we applied the MTERMS NLP system and machine learning classification algorithms to identify pat...

Named Entity Recognition in Chinese Clinical Text Using Deep Neural Network.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Rapid growth in electronic health records (EHRs) use has led to an unprecedented expansion of available clinical data in electronic formats. However, much of the important healthcare information is locked in the narrative documents. Therefore Natural...

Automatically Expanding the Synonym Set of SNOMED CT using Wikipedia.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Clinical terminologies and ontologies are often used in natural language processing/understanding tasks as a method for semantically tagging text. One ontology commonly used for this task is SNOMED CT. Natural language is rich and varied: many differ...
