Automatic generation of teaching files during routine clinical dictation

Abstract

It is possible to implement a system that facilitates the automatic generation of teaching files through routine clinical dictation. While some training is required, user -specific options make the transition to this system relatively easy. Once the training and system is in place, control of the images and display of the images are done through the same dictation mechanism. Additionally, patient demographic data can be safely removed from the study information. Since the studies are readily available on the web immediately after the dictated report for the study is transcribed there is no additional time required for the radiologist to manage teaching file creation.
