Database capture of natural language echocardiographic reports: A unified medical language system approach
Kip Canfield, Bruce E. Bray, Stanley M. Huff, H. R. Warner · PubMed Central · 1989
We describe a prototype system for semi-automatic database capture of free-text echocardiography reports. The system is very simple and uses a Unified Medical Language System compatible architecture. We use this system and a large body of texts to create a patient database and develop a comprehensive hierarchical dictionary for echocardiography.
