How NLP can 'revolutionize' structured reporting

Example of natural language processing converting the radiologist's dictation into text. This system from M-Model highlighted key words the artificial intelligence will use text in the report and for labeling the report file for later key word searches or data mining.

The continued emergence of natural language processing has caught the eye of experts in the field, with some suggesting its use could streamline the process of integrating structured reporting across the specialty.

Example of an FFR-angio image-derived hemodynamic flow model performed tableside in the cath lab reconstructed using three different C-arm contract image acquisitions. This technology from CathWorks, which was recently acquired by Medtronic, can eliminate the need for pressure wires and adenosine to assess FFR pressures. These measurements are used to determine the hemodynamic significance of a stenosis and determine if a stent is necessary or if a patient can be treated medically.
