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 (SOC), 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.
