We report on an experiment to use the natural language processing tools being developed in the SPECIALIST system to accurately identify terminology associated with the coronary arteries as expressed in coronary catheterization reports. The ultimate goal is to map from any anatomically-oriented medical text to online images, using the UMLS as an intermediate knowledge source. We describe some of the problems encountered when processing coronary artery terminology and report on the results of a formative evaluation of a tool for addressing these problems.
我们报告了一项实验,该实验旨在使用正在SPECIALIST系统中开发的自然语言处理工具,准确识别冠状动脉造影报告中所表达的与冠状动脉相关的术语。最终目标是利用统一医学语言系统(UMLS)作为中间知识源,将任何面向解剖学的医学文本映射到在线图像。我们描述了处理冠状动脉术语时遇到的一些问题,并报告了针对这些问题的一种工具的形成性评估结果。
