  • Publication number: 20250037865
    Abstract: According to embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided a solution for medical data processing. In this solution, a first set of entities and a second set of entities are respectively extracted from a first medical report and a second medical report related to a patient. A semantic correlation is determined between the first set of entities and the second set of entities. A concordance level between medical information in the first medical report and medical information of the second medical report is determined based on the semantic correlation. In this way, the cross-report concordance analysis can be automatically conducted based on semantic correlation of entities extracted from the reports.
