A METHOD FOR GENERATING TEXT FROM SELECTED MEDICAL FINDINGS

摘要

A method for generating sentences of text for selected medical findings in an electronic medical diagnostic system (10) is disclosed. First, a descriptive phrase for each medical finding is created. Each descriptive phrase is then analyzed to determine possible truncation points for modifying the descriptive phrase of one medical finding if another medical finding is also selected. A code at each possible truncation point is then entered into the phrase. Language to be inserted at each of the truncation points is then created and the descriptive phrase and modifying language are stored in database file (20) and knowledge base file (22). Finally, the stored descriptive phrases and modifying language are then combined to form a readable text on display (12) for the medical findings selected from the databases.
