Embodiment Construction

[0028] figure 1 A flow chart of steps of a method for generating a first image from a medical text report according to an example is schematically illustrated.

[0029] The method includes obtaining a medical text report in step 102, the medical text report including one or more natural language statements (the medical text report is not in figure 1 is shown in , but see e.g. image 3 Medical Text Report 314).

[0030] The medical text report may be a radiology report. For example, a radiological technologist may perform medical imaging of a patient, and a radiologist may read or interpret the resulting image or images and generate a textual report of his findings.

[0031] Medical imaging may include, for example, computed tomography (CT) scans, such as computed tomography angiography (CTA), or may include, for example, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), such as stress perfusion cardiac MRI.

[0032] Radiology reports may include narrative text dictated by a radiologist. ...

Abstract

Disclosed is image generation from a medical text report. A method of generating a first image from a medical text report comprises acquiring a medical text report comprising one or more natural language statements; analysing the medical text report, using a computer-implemented analysis process, to determine for each natural language statement whether the statement satisfies a predetermined criterion with respect to a first medical finding; and responsive to a determination that a said statement satisfies the predetermined criterion, adding an image representing the first medical finding to an image template, to generate the first image. Also disclosed is an apparatus and computer program.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to generating images, and more particularly to generating images from medical text reports, such as radiology reports. Background technique [0002] Medical text reports, such as radiology reports, are used in the medical field to communicate information between medical professionals. For example, a patient's physician may refer the patient to some kind of medical imaging, such as computed tomography angiography (CTA). Radiologic technologists then perform medical imaging of the patient, and radiologists then read or interpret the resulting images to produce text-based radiology reports of their findings. A medical discovery may be defined as an observation made on a patient, eg, by a physician, eg, as a result of an examination, imaging, or other testing of the patient. The radiology report is then provided to the referring physician. The referring physician can then make a diagnosis of the patient's condition based on...
