Open-source solution helps terminology management
Researchers at Stanford University have created Protege, an open-source radiology lexicon that allows easier management of terminologies and ontologies. A common complaint has been that standard lexicon programs such as RadLex are complex and difficult to manage.
Researchers at Stanford University have created Protege, an open-source radiology lexicon that allows easier management of terminologies and ontologies. A common complaint has been that standard lexicon programs such as RadLex are complex and difficult to manage.
Protege will help computer application developers, terminology developers, and the radiology community in general to browse, visualize, and edit large taxonomies (J Digit Imaging 2007 Aug. 9, Epub ahead of print), according to Dr. Daniel L. Rubin, scientific director of the National Center of Biomedical Ontology at Stanford University.
"RadLex was initially developed using word processors and spreadsheets, but it soon became evident that these tools were not suitable for distributing RadLex on the web or for making it accessible to applications," Rubin said.
Study Reaffirms Low Risk for csPCa with Biopsy Omission After Negative Prostate MRI
December 19th 2024In a new study involving nearly 600 biopsy-naïve men, researchers found that only 4 percent of those with negative prostate MRI had clinically significant prostate cancer after three years of active monitoring.
Study Examines Impact of Deep Learning on Fast MRI Protocols for Knee Pain
December 17th 2024Ten-minute and five-minute knee MRI exams with compressed sequences facilitated by deep learning offered nearly equivalent sensitivity and specificity as an 18-minute conventional MRI knee exam, according to research presented recently at the RSNA conference.
Can Radiomics Bolster Low-Dose CT Prognostic Assessment for High-Risk Lung Adenocarcinoma?
December 16th 2024A CT-based radiomic model offered over 10 percent higher specificity and positive predictive value for high-risk lung adenocarcinoma in comparison to a radiographic model, according to external validation testing in a recent study.
