Medical scan natural language analysis system, methods and articles

A method for execution by a medical scan natural language analysis system that includes a processor, the method comprising:

• generating a medical report natural language model that includes an artificial neural network implemented via the processor and is trained based on a selected set of medical reports of a plurality of medical reports including at least one medical code of a plurality of medical codes mapped to each of the selected set of medical reports and further based a plurality of medical condition terms from a plurality of alias mapping pairs, wherein each of the plurality of medical condition terms are unique, wherein each of the plurality of medical condition terms indicates a corresponding medical condition and wherein each of the plurality of alias mapping pairs includes a one of the plurality of medical condition terms and a corresponding single one of the plurality of medical codes that is a deterministic function of the one of the plurality of medical condition terms and wherein the plurality of alias mapping pairs includes two or more alias mapping pairs that map a corresponding two or more of the plurality of medical condition terms to a same one of the plurality of medical codes;
• accessing a first medical report that is not included in the selected set;
• determining a first medical code of the plurality of medical codes utilizing the medical report natural language model on the first medical report by:
• recognizing, via the artificial neural network of the medical report natural language model, a first medical condition term of the plurality of medical condition terms in the first medical report;
• and
• determining the first medical code of the plurality of medical codes, based on the plurality of alias mapping pairs, wherein the determining the first medical code includes identifying a first alias mapping pair of the plurality of alias mapping pairs that pairs the first medical condition term deterministically to the first medical code;
• and
• mapping the first medical code of the plurality of medical codes and the first medical condition term of the plurality of medical condition terms to a first medical scan corresponding to the first medical report;
• and
• facilitating display by a display device of the first medical condition term and the first medical code in conjunction with the first medical scan.

An article of manufacture that includes a tangible storage medium that stores operational instructions, that when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:

• generate a medical report natural language model that includes an artificial neural network implemented via the processor and is trained based on a selected set of medical reports of a plurality of medical reports including at least one medical code of a plurality of medical codes mapped to each of the selected set of medical reports and further based a plurality of medical condition terms from a plurality of alias mapping pairs, wherein each of the plurality of medical condition terms are unique, wherein each of the plurality of medical condition terms indicates a corresponding medical condition and wherein each of the plurality of alias mapping pairs includes a one of the plurality of medical condition terms and a corresponding single one of the plurality of medical codes that is a deterministic function of the one of the plurality of medical condition terms and wherein the plurality of alias mapping pairs includes two or more alias mapping pairs that map a corresponding two or more of the plurality of medical condition terms to a same one of the plurality of medical codes;
• access a first medical report that is not included in the selected set via a network;
• determine a first medical code of the plurality of medical codes utilizing the medical report natural language model on the first medical report by:
• recognize, via the artificial neural network of the medical report natural language model, a first medical condition term of the plurality of medical condition terms in the first medical report;
• and
• determine the first medical code of the plurality of medical codes, based on the plurality of alias mapping pairs, wherein the determining the first medical code includes identifying a first alias mapping pair of the plurality of alias mapping pairs that pairs the first medical condition term deterministically to the first medical code;
• and
• map the first medical code of the plurality of medical codes and the first medical condition term of the plurality of medical condition terms to a first medical scan corresponding to the first medical report;
• and
• facilitate display by a display device of the first medical condition term and the first medical code in conjunction with the first medical scan.
