Why this one
A sole-inventor filing from the later Siemens Healthineers period. The point is the join — findings extracted from pixels and findings extracted from the radiologist’s prose end up addressable in the same vocabulary.
Abstract
A method is for evaluating medical examination results of a patient. The method includes providing a medical ontology including multiple medical concepts occurring in image data sets and examination reports of patients; analysing the at least one image data set using at least one first analysis algorithm, the at least one first analysis algorithm being an artificial intelligence algorithm, for detection of medical concepts of the medical ontology, and marking the medical concepts detected in a result data structure referring to the medical ontology; analysing the at least one examination report using at least one second analysis algorithm, the at least one second analysis algorithm being a natural language processing algorithm, for detection of other medical concepts of the medical ontology, and marking the other medical concepts detected in the result data structure; and providing the result data structure to at least one evaluation application processing medical concepts.
