Overview
The "acr-appro-criteria" dataset contains information based on the ACR Appropriateness Criteria, which are evidence-based guidelines developed by the American College of Radiology (ACR). These guidelines assist referring physicians and other healthcare providers in making the most appropriate imaging or treatment decisions for specific clinical conditions. The criteria are designed to enhance the quality of care and ensure the most effective use of radiology.
Dataset Content
The dataset includes the following key columns:
instruction: Detailed medical information about the patient case, including anamnesis, diagnosis, and relevant clinical details. The text is formatted to ensure readability and clarity, and all acronyms are fully spelled out using a provided dictionary. procedure: The proposed medical imaging or treatment procedure. output: A combined field providing the appropriateness rating of the procedure and the strength of evidence supporting this recommendation.
Transformation Details
Each row in the dataset is a transformed entry from the original ACR Appropriateness Criteria:
Instruction: This column contains detailed patient case information. Each case aspect is split by periods for clarity, acronyms are expanded, and the information is written in a readable, professional medical language. Procedure: This column simply states the proposed imaging or treatment procedure. Output: This column provides a narrative on the appropriateness of the procedure and the strength of the evidence, formatted as follows:
