I should probably do a CP to fill out the lot.

This leads then to non-standard truncations of standardized terms, defeating the valueAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230977114340948288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367102802658603789.post-58317919928684533202014-05-24T07:41:31.328-07:002014-05-24T07:41:31.328-07:00At SIIM 2014, Helen Chen described some useful wor...At SIIM 2014, Helen Chen described some useful work related to use the relationships between anatomical parts to identify relevant priors; see "http://siim.org/siim2014/scientific-program/radbodykb-ontology-based-web-service-enhanced-search-anatomic-location".David Cluniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17331067317921452126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367102802658603789.post-54569714531132362342013-10-16T08:36:40.554-07:002013-10-16T08:36:40.554-07:00Thank you for the thoughtful post.

Two other significant use cases beyond pre-fetch and hanging protocols, came to mind: Work allocation and Reporting template mapping. Depending on the practice, having a very fine-grained list is useful to present just the right cases to the right specialist. Reporting templates provide greatest efficiency when tuned to the specific clinical question which in many cases can be inferred from the body part examined.<br />Pre-fetching is the area where a coarse grain is probably most useful, although it does by nature risk greater resource consumption. It has been my experience that Radiologists want ready access to related structures and may choose to wander a bit to satisfy curiosity. Having loosely related priors immediately available is often desired<br />So, with competing requirements, perhaps your suggestion of both lumped and split is the answer. But does this exist in the known universe? Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230977114340948288noreply@blogger.com
