[Clinical Validation of Chest X-ray Educational Content for Radiography Students Using Gaze Information].

Purpose: Radiography training for students in colleges of radiology should be based on real clinical situations. The purpose of this study was to verify the clinical validity of our originally developed scenarios for chest X-ray training and the instructional contents using gaze information of experienced radiology technologists (RTs).

Methods: We divided 8 RTs with different experiences into an evaluator group (3 RTs) and a subject group (5 RTs).

Evaluation of factors associated with the effectiveness of radiation protection glasses.

The effects of lead equivalent and lens area of radiation-protective eyewear on lens exposure control were examined. The simulated patient underwent 10-min X-ray fluoroscopy, and the lens dose of the simulated surgeon wearing radiation protection glasses was measured using lens dosemeters attached to the corner of the eye and eyeball. In total, 10 types of radiation protection glasses were selected for measurement.

Extracting clinical terms from radiology reports with deep learning.

Extracting clinical terms from free-text format radiology reports is a first important step toward their secondary use. However, there is no general consensus on the kind of terms to be extracted. In this paper, we propose an information model comprising three types of clinical entities: observations, clinical findings, and modifiers.

End-to-End Approach for Structuring Radiology Reports.

Radiology reports include various types of clinical information that are used for patient care. Reports are also expected to have secondary uses (e.g.
