Nuance and Text Processing
December 25, 2010
Health Data Management points us to “Vendor News from RSNA 2010.” While many vendors are highlighted in this article, Nuance Communications Inc. caught all of our attention. Nuance created radiology report databases in the past, but now they have embraced search technology from Montage Healthcare Solutions to augment their own products.
“The integration enables radiologists to search their database through simple voice commands or keystrokes to get a birds-eye view of prior radiology reports or correlate findings with actual pathology reports, among other functions.”
Montage Healthcare Solutions describe themselves as company that provides “enterprise search and performance analytics for radiology, designed by radiologists for radiologists.” They market their search technology as a way to reduce costs, increase practice revenue, practice management capabilities, and increase academic productivity. It sounds like a fine partnership. On a side note: Nuance bought Language & Computing, a company with content processing technology. I wonder what they will do with that acquisition.
