TITLE : Automated Retrieval and Generation of Brain CT Radiology Reports

SPEAKER : Gong Tianxia
         School of Computing
         National University of Singapore

TIME : 11 March, 2008, 10am - 11am, Tuesday

VENUE : VIP Studio (AS6 #05-17)
        School of Computing
        National University of Singapore

ABSTRACT:

With the advances of medical techniques, large amounts of medical data are
produced in hospitals every day. Radiology reports contain rich information
about the corresponding medical images but are often under mined. Therefore,
our research topics focus on information extraction from brain CT radiology
reports, radiology reports assisted medical image content retrieval, and
automatic generation of brain CT reports based on domain knowledge and
associated images. Current medical record search systems will benefit from
our research so that searching for information is more efficient and
convenient. Doctors and radiologists can also be more efficient to conduct
their research in the area using the improved system. The automatical
generation of reports can give reference to radiologists. Our research will
also be helpful to facilitate an education system for junior doctors and
researchers in the area.

BIODATA:

Gong Tianxia is a PhD candidate in computer science at School of Computing
(SCO), National University of Singapore (NUS), supervised by A/P Tan Chew
Lim. She received her bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering at SOC in
2006. Her research interests are in information Rretrieval and medical text
processing.
