Radiology reports include various types of clinical information that are used for patient care. Reports are also expected to have secondary uses (e.g., clinical research and the development of decision support systems). For secondary use, it is neces...
The field of artificial intelligence (AI) is currently experiencing a period of extensive growth in a wide variety of fields, medicine not being the exception. The base of AI is mathematics and computer science, and the current fame of AI in industry...
Nowadays, we are facing an overwhelming amount of public announcements concerning the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in the world of medical imaging (including radiology, nuclear medicine and radiotherapy). While most of the applications are st...
Advances in computing hardware and software platforms have led to the recent resurgence in artificial intelligence (AI) touching almost every aspect of our daily lives by its capability for automating complex tasks or providing superior predictive an...
While radiologists regularly issue follow-up recommendations, our preliminary research has shown that anywhere from 35 to 50% of patients who receive follow-up recommendations for findings of possible cancer on abdominopelvic imaging do not return fo...
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to develop an open-source natural language processing (NLP) pipeline for text mining of medical information from clinical reports. We also aimed to provide insight into why certain variables or reports are more suit...
