It currently detects errors in punctuation, spacing, spelling, grammar, patient age, and patient sex.

Supported checks

We use a combination of rule and model-based approaches to run our checks. Here are the types of checks that are currently available in Rad AI Reporting:

  • Missing punctuation, such as missing periods. 
  • Extra punctuation, such as duplicated periods.
  • Extra spaces 
  • Age mismatch, which checks any age mentioned in the report against data in the patient age field and report metadata. 
  • Sex mismatch, which uses our predefined dictionary of common male and female anatomical terms to check the report against data in the patient sex field and report metadata.
  • Spelling errors, which checks the report for misspelled words using dictionary look-up, and identifies the closest words for suggested correction.
  • Grammatical errors, like starting a sentence with a lowercase letter, or duplicated words.

The Report Checker is on by default. However, if you don't see the Report Checker view in your reporting workbench, follow these steps:

Frequently asked questions

Do you plan to add other types of checks?

The initial version of our model was designed to capture basic errors, like grammar, spelling, and sex/age mismatches. We plan to add more advanced checks over time. If there’s a particular type of check you’d like to see, please contact support@radai.com.
