Effectively Crowdsourcing Radiology Report Annotations

Crowdsourcing platforms are a popular choice for researchers to gather text annotations quickly at scale. We investigate whether crowdsourced annotations are useful when the labeling task requires medical domain knowledge. Comparing a sentence classification model trained with expert-annotated sentences to the same model trained on crowd-labeled sentences, we find the crowdsourced training data...

ESR concept paper on value-based radiology

The European Society of Radiology (ESR) established a Working Group on Value-Based Imaging (VBI WG) in August 2016 in response to developments in European healthcare systems in general, and the trend within radiology to move from volume- to value-based practice in particular. The value-based healthcare (VBH) concept defines "value" as health outcomes achieved for patients relative to the costs ...

Radiology by nonradiologists: is report documentation adequate?

OBJECTIVE To determine if the quality of medical imaging reports differs significantly between radiologists and nonradiologists. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective nonblinded review of randomly selected chest and long bone x-ray reports by orthopedists and primary care physicians compared with randomly selected imaging reports generated by radiologists. METHODS We randomly selected 1 report from ...

A uniform approximation method to solve absolute value equation

In this paper, we propose a parametric uniform approximation method to solve NP-hard absolute value equations. For this, we uniformly approximate absolute value in such a way that the nonsmooth absolute value equation can be formulated as a smooth nonlinear equation. By solving the parametric smooth nonlinear equation using Newton method, for a decreasing sequence of parameters, we can get the ...
