Abstract
Systems and methods for extracting information from DICOM structured reports and similar types of input files include receiving at least one DICOM structured report and at least one criterion, applying the one or more criteria to each DICOM structured report to obtain result data, and generating a result for storage or display. Result information can further be queried for indexing and aggregation purposes, and the query results can be stored for searching, access, and report generation.
Claims18
A method for extracting information from DICOM structured reports, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving at least one DICOM structured report comprising a plurality of input data;
- receiving at least one criterion corresponding to at least one item of input data within said at least one DICOM structured report;
- applying said at least one criterion to said at least one DICOM structured report to obtain result data from said at least one DICOM structured report, wherein the result data corresponds to said at least one item of input data;
- and
- generating a result containing the result data for storage or display.
A system for extracting information from DICOM structured reports, the system comprising:
- a server in communication with a conversion engine, a reporting engine, or combinations thereof, wherein the server comprises a plurality of DICOM structured reports stored thereon;
- a criteria processor in communication with the server and a criteria repository having a plurality of criteria stored thereon, wherein the criteria processor comprises computer instructions for instructing the criteria processor to apply the plurality of criteria to the plurality of DICOM structured reports to obtain result data;
- a result database in communication with the criteria processor for receiving and storing the result data;
- and
- a query engine in communication with the result database, wherein the query engine comprises computer instructions for instructing the query engine to receive a query, apply the query to the result database to generate query results, and display the query results, store the query results in a query database, or combinations thereof.
