Fig. 2. Screen capture of typical Health Level Seven (HL7) message
for dictated radiology report. Each report message contains three separate
sections: HL7 header message, report content, and HL7 footer message. Because
this is standard format for every report message, one can easily extract
desired patient and study information from header. Again, report content is
extracted by scrubbing header and footer messages.
