Background And Objective: Radiological reports typically summarize the content and interpretation of imaging studies in unstructured form that precludes quantitative analysis. This limits the monitoring of radiological services to throughput undifferentiated by content, impeding specific, targeted operational optimization. Here we present Neuradicon, a natural language processing (NLP) framework for quantitative analysis of neuroradiological reports.

Article Synopsis
  • Imaging markers of cerebral small vessel disease can provide insights into brain health, but their manual assessment is slow and has high variability among different evaluators.
  • The VALDO challenge, held alongside the MICCAI 2021 conference, aimed to develop automated methods for detecting specific brain imaging markers, including enlarged perivascular spaces, cerebral microbleeds, and lacunes, using imperfect data.
  • The results highlighted significant performance differences among 12 participating teams, showing promise for detecting enlarged perivascular spaces and microbleeds, but indicating that solutions for lacunes remain less effective for individual use despite potential benefits for population studies.

Terpenoids are a very prominent class of natural compounds produced in diverse genera of plants, fungi, algae and sponges. They gained significant -pharmaceutical value since prehistoric times, due to their broad spectrum of medical applications. The fragrant leaves of Eucalyptus trees are a rich source of terpenoids.
