Abstract

Incidental radiographic findings are commonly found in radiology reports, can have significant clinical implications, yet frequently are missed or not followed-up on due to clinician error. This work evaluates a document-level classification task of radiology reports for a type of incidental finding, pulmonary nodules, utilizing the FLAIR NLP framework as a proof-of-concept for potential automation of identification of such findings for more consistent tracking.
