The present invention relates to method for assisting a user in generating an itemised medical report from at least one medical image. The at least one medical image is displayed in a display area of single computer display unit. In the same display area, a sub-region containing a checklist specific to the one or more images is displayed. Items from the checklist can be de-selected. This checklist comprises a list of selectable items, each item representing an organ, structure, or abnormality that has to be checked by the user. Linked to each item in the checklist is a default statement that is a pre-prepared statement indicative of the normality of the item. The default statement is not displayed by default as part of the checklist. The user can select an item from the checklist for providing comments by dictation thereon responsive to an observation in the radiological image. At the end of the image analysis, an editable itemised medical report is generated containing each item of the checklist as a heading and either the dictated comment or the default statement associated with the item as an observation. The editable itemised medical report is rapidly and accurately generated, information is confined to a single screen reducing the look-away time and general discomfort over time for the user.

Written reports are composed using a terminal during or between patient encounters. Selections made on the terminal invoke standard text segments and a narrative comment is recorded, by dictation or otherwise. After a series of patient encounters, such as at the end of the day, automatically generated draft reports are reviewed, revised and dispatched by the practitioner or staff, in a batch process. The terminal accepting selections and comment can be a wireless Web-capable smart-phone or another terminal running an application to interface with the practitioner. The application presents selections for each of a menu of categories, for example common conditions and maladies encountered in specialized practices. The practitioner distinguishes between normal entries that populate the report with standardized comments (or optionally go unreported), versus noteworthy entries that populate the report with preferably speech-recognized text.

A natural language understanding method begins with a radiological report text containing clinical findings. Errors in the text are corrected by analyzing character-level optical transformation costs weighted by a frequency analysis over a corpus corresponding to the report text. For each word within the report text, a word embedding is obtained, character-level embeddings are determined, and the word and character-level embeddings are concatenated to a neural network which generates a plurality of NER tagged spans for the report text. A set of linked relationships are calculated for the NER tagged spans by generating masked text sequences based on the report text and determined pairs of potentially linked NER spans. A dense adjacency matrix is calculated based on attention weights obtained from providing the one or more masked text sequences to a Transformer deep learning network, and graph convolutions are then performed over the calculated dense adjacency matrix.

A method and apparatus for storing a resume on a server which is part of a computer network (e.g. the Internet), providing a method for the owner of the resume (job candidate) to mask out certain confidential information (such as the owner's identity) while maintaining the“look and feel” of the original resume, and allowing users on the network the freedom to peruse an exact copy of the resume at will, while keeping the confidential parts (e.g. the owner's identity and current employer) sufficiently blurred out that they would be undecipherable. This system would also provide for a method in which any user on the network (i.e. the Internet) who wanted to view the unmasked version of the resume would be granted the ability to send a confidential request directly to the owner of the resume (job candidate) over an Internet-based application for permission to view the entire (unmasked) resume. The system would further provide for a method in which the owner of the resume would be informed of the requests through the internet application and given the identity of the requesters (employers). The owner then would be provided with a method to either approve or deny the requests to view the unmasked resume. The requestors (employers) would then be notified over an Internet link of the approval or denial. The purpose and goal of this invention is to grant the owner of the resume (job candidate) absolute control over who could and who could not view the unmasked version of the resume (which might be his identity and other pertinent personal information) while at the same time allowing users on the network the ability to peruse an exact copy of the resume with the confidential parts rendered indecipherable. A key feature of this invention is that all the back office work of sorting, categorizing, and searching of the resumes including the billing of clients would be handled by an automated computer program with minimal to no human involvement. While this invention is primarily concerned with the storage, retrieval, and display of resumes, it could equally be used for financial reports, medical reports, bank accounts, stock quotes, benefit plans, or any other case where the “look and feel” of the original document is desired to be preserved while masking out the confidential parts of the document in such a manner that the document owner has absolute control over who is able to view the unmasked version of the document.

Speech recognition methods, systems, and interfaces are used in the generation of medical reports from data in a hierarchically-organized database for the entry and searching of data in a database based on spoken utterances of a user. A workflow function facilitates a series of contexts, typically based on information in a knowledge base, that are used to establish procedural rules and word-mapping databases for each context for word-matching data entry based on spoken utterances of a user. The generation of medical reports from the entered medical data provides for searching the database generated using the speech recognition methods. The series of contexts and word-mapping databases are developed using a hierarchically-organized database representation based on knowledge regarding the relationship of data items in the main database.

A link corresponding range is specified for any of strings arranged in an observation column in a medical report display screen. Then, a drag operation is input which specifies any of contents being displayed on a monitor. When a dragged display icon is dropped onto a link corresponding range displayed portion of a medical report creation screen to specify the string, address information on the content is acquired. The address information on the referenced content is then pasted to the string. At the same time, the string in the link corresponding range has its color changed and is underlined for identification. After the report has been completed, a file is saved and the series of operations are finished. Then, the file is transferred to, for example, an image interpretation report requester.

A system to create and review reports enables interactive manipulation of the displaying of two-dimensional and three-dimensional images associated with image diagnosis reports, at user terminals connected to a medium- or low-speed network. High-speed image processing devices are set up near the network of a PACS server which archives and transmits medical image data, and parameter sets are attached which serve to recreate reference images in diagnosis reports. When users at a requesting department review the reports at user terminals, parameter sets are added to the reports and transmitted to image processing devices. The image processing devices obtain image data from the PACS server based on these parameter sets. Image processing is performed, and the image data is then sent to user terminals.

A computerized method for evaluating medical reports includes identifying at least one or more medical reports stored in a database related to the medical condition, validating the identified medical reports by determining if key words associated with the medical condition found in the at least one or more reports are surrounded by a negative context and extracting relevant data from the medical reports. The exemplary method also includes evaluating the relevant data from the medical reports with provisions set forth in clinical guidelines corresponding to a medical condition, storing a flag identifying one or more of the medical reports as noncompliant when its corresponding relevant data does not comply with the provisions set forth in the clinical guideline unless a valid contraindication applies and displaying the medical reports identified as noncompliant.

A system uses imaging device orientation, location and inclination data to create a link between a medical report statement and a specific image or series of images enabling a user to view a patient imaging report of a patient automatically associating a patient image and a corresponding report statement. A system identifies an anatomical portion of a patient using positional data derived from an imaging device. The system includes an acquisition processor for acquiring positional data of a directional image acquisition unit oriented to acquire an image of a particular anatomical portion of a patient. The positional data corresponds to a particular orientation used to acquire a particular image of the particular anatomical portion of the patient. A repository of mapping data links positional data of the image acquisition unit with data identifying anatomical portions of a patient. An image data processor associates the particular image derived using the image acquisition unit with a particular anatomical portion of a patient using the mapping data.

Methods, systems, and user interfaces for navigating hierarchical database views are provided, that support the efficient entry, review, and updating of data using a navigation display. At any point in the navigation process, the navigation display consists of buttons corresponding to nodes of hierarchical database data. Buttons form series of menu items representing nodes that lie along the path to the last node visited (the set of previously made choices) and the children of this node (the set of current choices). Other buttons act as placeholders to facilitate global movement within the database and when selected, initiate new series of menu items. Reports are generated by creating and formatting text based on data entered into the database. Other features are provided for increasing the efficiency of entering data and created reports from data in a hierarchical database views. Information is separated regarding the organization of the knowledge base and user interface from information from the data-entering step and associating the entered data items with sections used to organize information in the report.
