Abstract
A radiological report editor that takes advantage of a series of templates for different types of reports. The templates provide appropriate statements which can be inserted and modified in accordance with specific observations. The statements are presented to the user in the order in which they would typically appear in a report. The statements may contain grammatically interchangeable qualifiers presented to the user in the order of historical statistical usage. A report can be based on previous reports chosen to best match the metadata of the new report, or best matching the image being reported.
Claims34
A report editor comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium;
- and
- a database operatively engaged with the non-transitory computer readable storage medium;
- wherein the non-transitory computer readable storage medium stores instructions for generating a report about an image from a template;
- wherein the template comprises a series of statements selectively included in the report from the database;
- wherein the database stores a plurality of reports including historical reports;
- wherein a new report generated by the non-transitory computer readable storage medium is based on a selected report from the plurality of reports stored in the database;
- wherein a selection of the series of statements in the new report is copied from a selection of statements in the selected report or from multiple stored reports;
- wherein the series of statements are presented in order corresponding to a probability that any particular statement is likely to be selected;
- wherein the probability that the particular statement is selected is based on a selection of a first statement and a frequency of selection of a second statement when the first statement has been selected in the historical reports;
- or is based on the selection of a pair of statements and the frequency of selection of the second statement when the pair of statements has been selected in the historical reports;
- wherein the selected series of statements in the new report are edited and the edited statements are stored in the database;
- wherein the edited statements are included in a completed report and the completed report is stored in the database;
- wherein the stored edited statements and the stored completed report update the database and are made available for use in a subsequent template for a subsequent new report;
- and
- wherein anonymized metadata from each completed report is added to a statement metadata library in the database and is used in generating the subsequent new report, thereby increasing accuracy of the subsequent new report relative to previously-generated reports and the historical reports.

- wherein each statement of the series of statements comprises selectable qualifiers which alter a meaning of the statement;
- wherein the qualifiers are presented for selection in an order based on an associated probability of selection;
- wherein the probability of selection of a qualifier is stored in the template and is updated when a previous qualifier is selected;
