PMID:22195212īreast diseases in children: the spectrum of radiologic findings in a cohort studyĭurmaz, Emel Öztek, Murat Alp Habibi, Hatice Arıöz Kesimal, UÄŸur Sindel, Hakkı Timur The expressiveness of a terminology does not consistently correlate with radiology report retrieval. Conclusion: No single terminology is optimal for retrieving radiology reports with critical findings. However, retrieval rate and precision varied between terminologies for the three findings evaluated. Results: SNOMED-CT consistently demonstrated the highest number of overall terms (mean=22) for each of ten critical findings. Three findings were subsequently selected to evaluate document retrieval. Concepts in each terminology were identified for 10 critical imaging findings. Methods: Four terminologies were evaluated: National Cancer Institute Thesaurus (NCIT), Radiology Lexicon (RadLex), Systemized Nomenclature of Medicine (SNOMED-CT), and International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9-CM). This study describes the expressiveness and coverage of existing medical terminologies for critical imaging findings and evaluates radiology report retrieval using each terminology. A fundamental challenge includes retrieval of radiology reports that contain these findings. Introduction: Communication of critical imaging findings is an important component of medical quality and safety. Leveraging Terminologies for Retrieval of Radiology Reports with Critical Imaging Findings
