Stanford researchers developed a natural language processing tool to automatically extract useful measurements, sharing their process in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence.

The transition to patient-scheduled screening exams may also result in "significant" cost savings, Rochester, Minnesota, researchers underscored.

Organizations may utilize these natural language processing tools during research and quality improvement projects.
