  • Publication number: 20230114066
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a system and methods for medical reporting. More specifically, the invention is directed to a system and methods by which information such as images or data may be analyzed in order to, for example, classify, identify and isolate structures, or extract attributes within the images or to deconstruct and reassemble the data according to a chosen clinical ontology such that by the entry of a selection of a topic, heading, and subheading within a medical report template—developed according to the same clinical ontology—, the information component or content relevant to selection is displayable concurrently to the user. Advantageously, through the use of such categorical report developed through the use of the system, a user can complete a more thorough clinical study more efficiently.

  • Patent number: 10657220
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a system and methods for medical reporting. More specifically, the invention is directed to a system that includes a structured reference frame component through the use of which one or more anatomical features or pathologies that are shown on an actual image taken of a patient can be associated with the data and other information provided in a structured knowledge base. Certain embodiments of the system include a structured reference frame component that can be used for a plurality of medical images taken of a patient, the plurality of images being ones taken, for example, of different views or projections or at different times to provide what is termed for purposes of this application a structured image set. Advantageously, such a structured image set places the subject anatomical feature or pathology in a greater spatial and/or temporal context.

  • Publication number: 20190139642
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a system and methods for medical image analysis and reporting. Specifically, certain preferred embodiments relate to a system that is configurable to receive a variety of inputs such that a user may choose the images, information, data, or other content reviewed by the user, the information that will result from that review and be inputted into the system, and the type of report that may be generated. In certain embodiments, the system facilitates matching the inputs to terms of a set of structured data elements to produce one or more templates that a user may select. An identifier including at least one term from the selected template may be assigned to the image. The system may then access an identified image database and process images with the identifier to produce a machine learning model, which can then be used to train a machine learning algorithm.

  • Patent number: 9043206
    Abstract: A system and methods for matching at least one word of an utterance against a set of template hierarchies to select the best matching template or set of templates corresponding to the utterance. Certain embodiments of the system and methods determines at least one exact, inexact, and partial match between the at least one word of the utterance and at least one term within the template hierarchy to select and populate a template or set of templates corresponding to the utterance. The populated template or set of templates may then be used to generate a narrative template or a report template.

  • Patent number: 8046226
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and methods for preparing reports, such as medical reports. The system and methods advantageously can verbalize information, using speech synthesis (text-to-speech), to support a dialogue between a user and the reporting system during the course of the preparation of the report in order that the user can avoid inefficient visual distractions.

  • Publication number: 20070130511
    Abstract: A hierarchically structured knowledge base containing hierarchically ordered data elements is provided (101). One also provides (102) an interactive user interface, wherein the interactive user interface is operably coupled to the hierarchically structured knowledge base. One then generates (103) a data-entry form that is displayable on the interactive user interface using the hierarchically structured knowledge base, wherein the data-entry form contains a plurality of data-entry columns of data-entry opportunities. In a preferred but optional approach, the data-entry opportunities are not necessarily ordered in a manner conforming to the hierarchical order that characterizes the hierarchically structured knowledge base.

  • Patent number: 7155447
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and user interfaces for navigating hierarchical database views are provided, that support the efficient entry, review, and updating of data using a navigation display. At any point in the navigation process, the navigation display consists of buttons corresponding to nodes of hierarchical database data. Buttons form series of menu items representing nodes that lie along the path to the last node visited (the set of previously made choices) and the children of this node (the set of current choices). Other buttons act as placeholders to facilitate global movement within the database and when selected, initiate new series of menu items. Reports are generated by creating and formatting text based on data entered into the database. Other features are provided for increasing the efficiency of entering data and created reports from data in a hierarchical database views.

  • Patent number: 7043426
    Abstract: Speech recognition methods, systems, and interfaces are used in the generation of medical reports from data in a hierarchically-organized database for the entry and searching of data in a database based on spoken utterances of a user. A workflow function facilitates a series of contexts, typically based on information in a knowledge base, that are used to establish procedural rules and word-mapping databases for each context for word-matching data entry based on spoken utterances of a user. The generation of medical reports from the entered medical data provides for searching the database generated using the speech recognition methods. The series of contexts and word-mapping databases are developed using a hierarchically-organized database representation based on knowledge regarding the relationship of data items in the main database.
