What is Radlex used for?
The tool is a lexicon that brings together more than 47,000 terms for radiologists, intended to fill a gap created by the increasing digitization of images, image reports and medical records. Its main function is to standardize radiological terminology, seeking to facilitate communication and data mining to improve decision-making.
