Title
A natural language processing pipeline for pairing measurements uniquely across free-text CT reports.
Abstract
•Oncology guidelines standardize response assessment based on measurements.•Regular expression-based techniques recognize measurements in reports.•We introduced the task of pairing lesion measurements across consecutive reports.•A natural language processing pipeline can be construed for the pairing task.•A post-processor enforces that each measurement is matched with at most one other.
