Abstract
Methods and systems for verifying a manually-generated report for a medical image. One system comprises an electronic processor configured to receive a first report for the medical image generated by a first radiologist, receive a second report for the medical image generated by a cognitive system, and automatically compare the first report and the second report to detect a discrepancy between the first report and the second report. The electronic processor is also configured to, in response to not detecting a discrepancy between the first report and the second report, submitting the first report for the medical image. The electronic processor is also configured to, in response to detecting a discrepancy between the first report and the second report, assign the medical image to a second radiologist, receive a third report for the medical image generated by the second radiologist, and submit the third report for the medical image.
