MRA - Proof of Concept of a Multilingual Report Annotator Web Application
This addresses the problem of limited text mining tools for non-English radiology reports, but it is incremental as it builds on existing translation and annotation methods.
The paper tackled the language barrier in radiology text mining by developing MRA, a web application that translates non-English radiology reports and annotates them with RadLex terms, resulting in a proof-of-concept tool available on GitHub.
MRA (Multilingual Report Annotator) is a web application that translates Radiology text and annotates it with RadLex terms. Its goal is to explore the solution of translating non-English Radiology reports as a way to solve the problem of most of the Text Mining tools being developed for English. In this brief paper we explain the language barrier problem and shortly describe the application. MRA can be found at https://github.com/lasigeBioTM/MRA .
