Application of automated pathology reporting concepts to radiology reports.

Objective: This study was designed to extend the concept of automated pathology reporting to radiology reports to find central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms that may currently go undetected.

Methods: Existing E-Path software was modified to account for the structure and language of radiology reports. Logic was added to allow registries to configure whether they want only new reports or if they also want history, metastatic, and/or previously known reports.
