Title
Automatic Processing of Anatomic Pathology Reports in the Italian Language to Enhance the Reuse of Clinical Data.
Abstract
Medical reports often contain a lot of relevant information in the form of free text. To reuse these unstructured texts for biomedical research, it is important to extract structured data from them. In this work, we adapted a previously developed information extraction system to the oncology domain, to process a set of anatomic pathology reports in the Italian language. The information extraction system relies on a domain ontology, which was adapted and refined in an iterative way. The final output was evaluated by a domain expert, with promising results.
