Analysis of bone scintigram data using a speech recognition reporting system.
A total of 649 bone scintigram reports were stored using a voice pattern recognition system in a general-purpose medium-sized computer ACOS-650, and bone scintigraphy carried out in this institute was examined by analysing these data. The results showed that the introduction of the system made it possible to analyse all the data quickly, whereas previously the amount of information that could be analysed was restricted because of the complexity of the data. The results also showed that the system would be useful for understanding the examinations carried out in the whole hospital as well as for analysing metastatic tumours and the numbers of patients receiving examinations. Furthermore, it would be helpful in the logical analysis of reports prepared by doctors.
