Standardized medical terminologies are gaining importance in the representation of medical data. In this paper, we present the evaluation of the SNOMED3.5 medical terminology to code concepts routinely used in chest radiology reports. Integration of this terminology mapper into a radiology reporting workstation that incorporates a speech recognition system and a natural language processor is also discussed. A total of 700 anatomical location terms (including synonyms) were tested and 72% of the terms had corresponding SNOMED terms. Of the 28% that did not result in a match, 16% were either morphological variants of SNOMED terms or could be found from a combination of terms from two or more SNOMED axes. Only 12% of the terms (primarily specialized radiology terms) were concepts not actually included in the SNOMED terminology.
标准化医学术语在医学数据表示中日益重要。在本文中，我们展示了对SNOMED3.5医学术语的评估，以对胸部放射学报告中常规使用的概念进行编码。还讨论了将此术语映射器集成到一个包含语音识别系统和自然语言处理器的放射学报告工作站中。总共测试了700个解剖学位置术语（包括同义词），其中72%的术语有相应的SNOMED术语。在未匹配的28%中，16%要么是SNOMED术语的形态变体，要么可以从两个或多个SNOMED轴的术语组合中找到。只有12%的术语（主要是专业放射学术语）是SNOMED术语中实际未包含的概念。
