RadLex

This FAIRsharing record describes: RadLex is a comprehensive lexicon?a unified language of radiology terms?for standardized indexing and retrieval of radiology information resources. With more than 68,000 terms, RadLex satisfies the needs of software developers, system vendors and radiology users by adopting the best features of existing terminology systems while producing new terms to fill critical gaps. RadLex also provides a comprehensive and technology-friendly replacement for the ACR Index for Radiological Diagnoses. It unifies and supplements other lexicons and standards, such as SNOMED-CT and DICOM. RadLex development has received support from both the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) and the cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG) project.

本FAIRsharing记录（FAIRsharing record）介绍如下：RadLex是一套全面的放射学术语词汇表——一套统一的放射学用语体系，用于实现放射学信息资源的标准化标引与检索。该词汇表包含超过68000个术语，在汲取现有术语系统优势的同时，新增术语填补关键空白，可充分满足软件开发人员、系统供应商与放射学用户的各类需求。此外，RadLex可作为ACR放射诊断索引（ACR Index for Radiological Diagnoses）的全面且适配技术场景的替代方案。该体系可统一并补充SNOMED-CT、DICOM等其他词汇表与标准。RadLex的开发工作得到了美国国家生物医学成像与生物工程研究所（National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, NIBIB）以及癌症生物医学信息网格（cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid, caBIG）项目的资助支持。
