Natural language processing predicts need for repeat head trauma CT
By Eric Barnes
Monday, December 2 | 10:50 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | SSC12-03 | Room N229When do head trauma patients need repeat CT scans? When the report suggests the condition is worsening. However, a neuroradiologist review is time-consuming, and scans are sometimes repeated unnecessarily. By automating the process, California researchers hoped to improve CT utilization and cut radiation exposures from unneeded scans in this study to be presented on Monday morning.
