The LOINC-RSNA Radiology Playbook represents the future direction of standardization for radiology procedure names. We developed a software solution ("RadMatch") utilizing Python 2.7 and FuzzyWuzzy, an open-source fuzzy string matching algorithm created by SeatGeek, to implement the LOINC-RSNA Radiology Playbook for adult abdomen and pelvis CT and MR procedures performed at our institution. Execution of this semi-automated method resulted in the assignment of appropriate LOINC numbers to 86% of local CT procedures. For local MR procedures, appropriate LOINC numbers were assigned to 75% of these procedures whereas 12.5% of local MR procedures could only be partially mapped. For the standardized local procedures, only 63% of CT and 71% of MR procedures had corresponding RadLex Playbook identifier (RPID) codes in the LOINC-RSNA Radiology Playbook, which limited the utility of RPID codes. RadMatch is a semi-automated open-source software tool that can assist radiology departments seeking to standardize their radiology procedures via implementation of the LOINC-RSNA Radiology Playbook.
LOINC-RSNA 放射学操作手册代表了放射学操作名称标准化的未来方向。我们开发了一个软件解决方案（“RadMatch”），该解决方案利用 Python 2.7 和 FuzzyWuzzy 实现，这是一个由 SeatGeek 创建的开源模糊字符串匹配算法，用于实现我们机构执行的成人腹部和骨盆 CT 和 MR 程序的 LOINC-RSNA 放射学操作手册。执行此半自动方法导致将适当的 LOINC 编号分配给 86%的本地 CT 程序。对于本地 MR 程序，适当的 LOINC 编号分配给 75%的这些程序，而 12.5%的本地 MR 程序只能部分映射。对于标准化的本地程序，只有 63%的 CT 和 71%的 MR 程序在 LOINC-RSNA 放射学操作手册中有相应的 RadLex 操作手册标识符（RPID）代码，这限制了 RPID 代码的实用性。RadMatch 是一个半自动的开源软件工具，可帮助放射科部门通过实施 LOINC-RSNA 放射学操作手册来标准化其放射学程序。
