Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for automatically generating a radiology report, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a computer, an input dataset comprising a plurality of multidimensional patient images and patient information;
parsing, by the computer, the input dataset using learned models to determine a clinical domain and relevant image annotations;
populating, by the computer, an annotation table using the relevant image annotations;
applying, by the computer, one or more domain-specific scriptable rules to populate a report template based on the annotation table; and
generating, by the computer, a natural language radiology report based on the report template.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for automatically generating a radiology report includes a computer receiving an input dataset comprising a plurality of multidimensional patient images and patient information and parsing the input dataset using learned models to determine a clinical domain and relevant image annotations. The computer populates an annotation table using the relevant image annotations and applies one or more domain-specific scriptable rules to populate a report template based on the annotation table. The computer may then generate a natural language radiology report based on the report template.

10. A computer-implemented method for automatically generating a radiology report, the method comprising:
-
performing, by a computer, an offline training process comprising; determining a plurality of possible image annotations associated with a clinical domain; determining a plurality of scriptable rules for populating a domain-specific clinical report template with information relevant to the plurality of possible image annotations; training one or more domain specific models to parse image information and output one or more of the plurality of possible image annotations; and performing, by the computer, an online report generation process comprising; receiving an input dataset comprising a plurality of multidimensional patient images and patient information; deriving one or more relevant image annotations associated with the input dataset based on the plurality of possible image annotations associated with the clinical domain and the one or more domain specific models; populating the domain-specific clinical report template using the one or more relevant image annotations and the plurality of scriptable rules; and identifying one or more clinically relevant findings based on the populated domain-specific clinical report template. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system for automatically generating a radiology report, the system comprising:
-
a medical information database comprising one or more diagnostic multidimensional (e.g. 2D/3D/4D) image data and non-image patient metadata; one or more processors configured to; communicate with the medical information database to retrieve a patient-specific input dataset; parse the patient-specific input dataset using learned models to determine a clinical domain and relevant image annotations; populate an annotation table using the relevant image annotations; apply one or more domain-specific scriptable rules to populate a report template based on the annotation table; and identify one or more clinically relevant findings based on the populated report template. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
