Ajay, cTAKES currently does not implement a method to discover labs from the text. The motivation is that you can get that easily from the structured part of the EMR (what Pete explained below). Hope this makes sense! --Guergana

Sometimes lab results are also reported in narrative notes, but parsing those is often more a matter of deciphering the text structure of tables than of parsing real English text. What am I misunderstanding? --Pete Sz.
