Abstract

The paper presents the possibility of direct comparison of medical text content by using unstructured representation of document information in frequency matrix of terms. Dimensionality reduction is performed using Latent Semantic Indexing method. Two common metrics are used: Cosine distance and Jaccard metric. Cosine measure shows a lower sensitivity for finding similar documents. The analysis was performed using SAS Text Analytics elements on set of 400 cases of description of abdominal radiological diagnostic images.
