cTAKES UMLS ICD10 codes lookup

Question

I created a cTAKES custom dictionary from UMLS database with ICD10 codes.

Right now I able to analyze the text by for example disease name, like Asthma and annotation index will contain the ICD10 code for this matching code = "J45.90".

Is it possible to configure cTAKES in order to reverse this process in order to look for ICD10 code appearance in the text instead?

Answer 1

The XML output contains the start and ends of a matched concept in the original corpus. I personally find it easier to convert the XML to a simple JSON format and then loop through it as needed.

I have been working on an open source solution for parsing out the data and displaying the corpus with the matches it in HTML: https://github.com/GoTeamEpsilon/ctakes-friendly-web-ui#demonstration - let me know if you'd like to contribute.
