The informational content of clinical radiology reports was examined to determine the coverage of the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) in relation to the terminology used by physicians in the Radiology Department of Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center (CPMC). The UMLS semantic network contained 17 semantic types which were compatible with the types of clinical information in the reports. The type of semantic categories missing from the UMLS consisted mainly of modifier information relating to certainty, degree, and change type of information. This type of information formed a substantial part of the domain. Although most of the informational categories were found in the UMLS semantic network, most of the domain terms were not. Our results strongly suggest that the UMLS could be a significant tool for developing clinical text processing applications if it were extended to cover clinical domains.
对临床放射学报告的信息内容进行了检查，以确定统一医学语言系统（UMLS）相对于哥伦比亚长老会医学中心（CPMC）放射科医生使用的术语的覆盖范围。UMLS语义网络包含17种语义类型，这些类型与报告中的临床信息类型兼容。UMLS中缺失的语义类别类型主要包括与信息的确定性、程度和变化类型相关的修饰信息。这类信息构成了该领域的很大一部分。虽然在UMLS语义网络中发现了大多数信息类别，但大多数领域术语却没有。我们的结果强烈表明，如果UMLS能够扩展以覆盖临床领域，它可能会成为开发临床文本处理应用程序的重要工具。
