  • Patent number: 8504511
    Abstract: The present invention is directed in general to a system and method that employs radiological localization ontology to localize specified and modeled radiological domain knowledge. A system and method are provided that allows for consulting the ontology in the context of the model the ontology fulfills. The result of consulting the ontology will be localized radiological information based on information provided in the consultation. Even further, such result is validated, identified and classified radiological information that is based on information provided in the consultation. By consulting the ontology the system is also able to translate designated radiological information from one localized representation to another and consult a language independent radiological domain knowledge.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8321196
    Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to a method programmed in a computing environment for providing prose text reporting, utilizing a prose text definition ontology comprising linguistic knowledge and a base report domain ontology. A system and method are provided to define various aspects of radiological report information processing as concept properties represented by a vocabulary of one or more instances of ontology concepts and presented in prose text. Even further, a system and method are provided for consulting a radiological prose text definition ontology wherein radiological domain concepts and relationships may be expressed or further utilized by other application programs. Users are able to quickly, accurately and consistently consult and report radiological observations in unambiguous prose text.

  • Publication number: 20110035208
    Abstract: A system and method that employs radiological report domain ontology and natural language processing to specify and model historical radiological information as knowledge is provided. The system and method trains a statistical probability based natural language processing system to recognize the semantics of a radiological domain. A methodology is provided to submit portions or the entire content of textual historical radiological report to a natural language processor wherein such data is interpreted and reported in a structured hierarchy.
