We undertook this project to integrate context sensitive computer-based educational and decision making aids into the film
interpretation and reporting process, and to determine the clinical utility of this method as a guide for further system development.
An image database of 347 digital mammography images was assembled and image features were coded. An interface was developed
to a computerized speech recognition radiology reporting system which was modified to translate reported findings into database
search terms. These observations were used to formulate database search strategies which not only retrieved similar cases
from the image database, but also other cases that were related to the index case in different ways. The search results were
organized into image sets intended to address common questions that arise during image interpretation. An evaluation of the
clinical utility of this method was performed as a guide for further system development. We found that voice dictation of
prototypical mammographic cases resulted in automatic retrieval of reference images. The retrieved images were organized into
sets matching findings, diagnostic hypotheses, diagnosis, spectrum of findings or diagnoses, closest match to dictated case,
or user specified parameters. Two mammographers graded the clinical utility of each form of system output. We concluded that
case specific and problem specific image sets may be automatically generated from spoken case dictation. A potentially large
number of retrieved images may be divided into subsets which anticipate common clinical problems. This automatic method of
context sensitive image retrieval may provide a “continuous’; form of education integrated into routine case interpretation. |
