Detection of missing findings for automatic creation of longitudinal finding view

A method of longitudinal tracking, comprising:

• in response to a received patient identifier, displaying on a display device a constructed display of characteristic information for at least one longitudinally tracked lesion retrieved according to the patient identifier, and an indicator of at least one missing measurement determined by comparing a temporal identifier of retrieved reports with the characteristic information, and each report includes a narrative with measurements of at least one reported lesion for the patient identifier,
• in response to an indication to find the at least one missing measurement, parsing the narrative of the at least one report into sentences and identifying section and paragraph headers;
• mapping phrases of the parsed sentences to an ontology;
• and
• identifying and normalizing measurements in the parsed sentences.

A longitudinal tracking system, comprising:

• one or more data processors configured to:
• in response to a received patient identifier, display on a display device a constructed display of characteristic information for at least one longitudinally tracked lesion retrieved according to the patient identifier, and an indicator of at least one missing measurement determined by comparing a temporal identifier of retrieved reports with the characteristic information, and each report includes a narrative with measurements of at least one reported lesion for the patient identifier;
• in response to an indication to find the at least one missing measurement, parse the narrative of the at least one report into sentences and identify section and paragraph headers;
• map phrases of the parsed sentences to an ontology;
• and
• identify and normalize measurements in the parsed sentences.
