As a result of improvements in Medical Language Processing, the availability of categorical information (such as diagnoses or radiology findings) is increasing rapidly. This increased availability has created a need for more efficient methods for computer presentation. One method for developing such presentations would be to adapt the hand-written notation systems already used in paper-based records. We have characterized one such notation system, the Mammography Notation Sublanguage(MNS). The MNS is a true medical sublanguage, with a definable lexicon and syntax. Compared with text reports, it represents a 37-fold size compression. A single "base", sublanguage pattern is identified for possible computer presentation of mammography findings. The issues involved in using such sublanguages for data presentation are discussed.
由于医学语言处理技术的进步，分类信息（如诊断结果或放射学检查结果）的可用性正在迅速增加。这种可用性的提高催生了对更高效的计算机呈现方法的需求。开发此类呈现的一种方法是改编纸质记录中已经使用的手写注释系统。我们已经对一种这样的注释系统——乳腺X线摄影注释子语言（MNS）进行了特征描述。MNS是一种真正的医学子语言，具有可定义的词汇表和语法。与文本报告相比，它实现了37倍的大小压缩。确定了一种单一的“基础”子语言模式，用于乳腺X线摄影检查结果的可能计算机呈现。讨论了使用此类子语言进行数据呈现所涉及的问题。
