Text mining of medical records for radiodiagnostic decision-making

Claster, W., Shanmuganathan, S., & Ghotbi, N. (2008). JCP, 3(1), 1-6.

Radiology department records of children who had undergone a CT scan procedure at Nagasaki University Hospital in the year 2004 are analyzed using Viscovery SOMine. Keywords are identified with a significance value within the narratives of the medical records that could predict and thereby lower the number of unnecessary CT requests by clinicians. This method can be used to reduce overuse of medical radiation, which poses significant health risks and staggering costs, especially with regard to children.
