The present invention is directed in general to a system and method that employs radiological localization ontology to localize specified and modeled radiological domain knowledge. A system and method are provided that allows for consulting the ontology in the context of the model the ontology fulfills. The result of consulting the ontology will be localized radiological information based on information provided in the consultation. Even further, such result is validated, identified and classified radiological information that is based on information provided in the consultation. By consulting the ontology the system is also able to translate designated radiological information from one localized representation to another and consult a language independent radiological domain knowledge.

System and method for providing localization of radiological information utilizing radiological domain ontology

The present invention is generally directed to a method programmed in a computing environment for providing prose text reporting, utilizing a prose text definition ontology comprising linguistic knowledge and a base report domain ontology. A system and method are provided to define various aspects of radiological report information processing as concept properties represented by a vocabulary of one or more instances of ontology concepts and presented in prose text. Even further, a system and method are provided for consulting a radiological prose text definition ontology wherein radiological domain concepts and relationships may be expressed or further utilized by other application programs. Users are able to quickly, accurately and consistently consult and report radiological observations in unambiguous prose text.
