Using NLP to identify information missing from radiology reports
By Cynthia E. Keen
Thursday, November 29 | 11:30 a.m.-11:40 a.m. | SSQ10-07 | Room S403AIn this scientific session, researchers will describe how a natural language processing (NLP) tool can identify "missing" core semantic elements in reports assessing bone tumors on radiographs. Such a tool used along with speech recognition could provide real-time feedback and help improve the quality of reports.

Turnaround times improve when stroke codes are prioritized
By Cynthia E. Keen
Wednesday, November 28 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSK07-09 | Room S405ABStaten Island University Hospital is a designated stroke center, with high expectations to produce the fastest turnaround time possible. The radiology department has turned to informatics to reduce its reporting process time -- from when the exam is complete to delivery of the report -- from an average time of 10 to 12 minutes to about five minutes.

Software tool expedites consensus peer review
By Cynthia E. Keen
Wednesday, November 28 | 11:30 a.m.-11:40 a.m. | SSK07-07 | Room S405ABThis scientific session will describe a software tool that has enabled broad adoption of a consensus-oriented group peer review process within the large radiology department of Massachusetts General Hospital. The department holds about 30 conferences each week to discuss the peer review of about 140 cases.

Radiology reports are most effective if tailored to recipient
By Cynthia E. Keen
Tuesday, November 27 | 12:45 p.m.-1:15 p.m. | LL-INS-TU4B | Lakeside Learning CenterTailoring a radiology report with its recipient in mind increases its value and ultimately benefits the radiologist as well. A one-size-fits-all approach is not recommended, according to a survey of physicians in Flanders, Belgium.
