TECHNIQUES TO IMPROVE ACCURACY OF A MEDICAL REPORT RELATING TO A MEDICAL IMAGING STUDY
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- analyzing at least one value of at least one data type from a medical imaging study, the at least one data type comprising at least one type of measurement data from the medical imaging study and/or at least one type of calculation data from the medical imaging study;
determining whether the at least one analyzed data value is outside of a normal range for the at least one data type; and
during preparation of a medical report comprising a medical professional'"'"'s impression of the medical imaging study, generating an alert to the medical professional in response to determining that the at least one analyzed data value is outside of the normal range.

Abstract
Techniques for improving the accuracy of medical reports prepared by medical professionals. One technique may entail providing a system to automatically pre-populate a medical report by extracting data from a medical imaging study and pre-populating fields in the report with the extracted data. Another technique may entail providing a system to analyze data values from an imaging study during preparation of a medical report, and to generate alerts if at least one analyzed data value is outside of a normal range. The data extracted for pre-populating and/or the data values analyzed for alert generation may correspond to measurement data and/or calculation data from the imaging study. After pre-populating and/or generating alerts in the medical report, the system may present the report to a medical professional to include his/her impressions of the imaging study. Such techniques may enable medical professionals to more accurately and efficiently prepare medical reports for patients.
