An automated detection method can help clinicians identify overlooked actionable findings in radiology reports and avoid costly delays to patient care. Therefore, one University of Tokyo research team recently assessed four methods for flagging “actionable” results from free-text in reports from their radiology department. Their analysis compared...Read more

2018 27 Feb

A recent study evaluated the performance of a deep learning convolutional neural network (CNN) model compared with a traditional natural language processing (NLP) model in extracting pulmonary embolism (PE) findings from thoracic computed tomography (CT) reports from two institutions. The findings show that the new CNN model can classify radiology...Read more
