Consistency-checking German Pathology Reports using Large Language models

August 29th, 2023

High data quality is becoming increasingly critical to today’s medical research. After identifying respective data quality rules, data quality checks can be implemented relatively easily on structured data. However, Pathology reports are predominantly narrative reports. Thus, these reports, comprising microscopy, histology and diagnosis provide very few structured elements. Hence, consistency checking of the sections of a report is mainly performed manually. Recent Large Language Models provide the potential to automate this process.
