Radiological reporting has generated large quantities of digital content within the electronic
health record, which is potentially a valuable source of information for improving clinical care …

Background It is estimated that 20–50% of all radiological examinations are of low value.
Many attempts have been made to reduce the use of low-value imaging. However, the …

This paper explores cutting-edge deep learning methods for information extraction from
medical imaging free text reports at a multi-institutional scale and compares them to the state …

Description: Pulmonary embolism (PE) can be a severe disease and is difficult to diagnose,
given its nonspecific signs and symptoms. Because of this, testing patients with suspected …

Importance Uncontrolled studies suggest that pulmonary embolism (PE) can be safely ruled
out using the YEARS rule, a diagnostic strategy that uses varying D-dimer thresholds …

At the present, the beginning of the twenty first century, many scientific, social, economic and
technological advances have been made in health care. Yet every day, approximately 1000 …

Conclusion—CT pulmonary angiography has reduced missed pulmonary embolism but
seems to result in overdiagnosis. We need to learn which small emboli need treatment For …

Importance The safety of the pulmonary embolism rule-out criteria (PERC), an 8-item block
of clinical criteria aimed at ruling out pulmonary embolism (PE), has not been assessed in a …

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially life threatening condition requiring adequate
diagnosis and treatment. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is …

Clinical research often focuses on resource-intensive causal inference, whereas the
potential of predictive analytics with constantly increasing big data sources remains largely …
