Hi Sekhar,
You can add the RegexSectionizer in ctakes-core to your pipeline, then code
such as:
final Collection<Segment> sections = JCasUtil.select( jCas, Segment.class
);
for ( Segment section : sections ) {
System.out.println( section.getId() );
System.out.println( section.getCoveredText() );
}
The section names (id) come from a file listing names and regular expressions
in ctakes-core-res org.apache.ctakes.core.sections.DefaultSectionRegex.bsv
It is an incomplete list, please add to it if you can.

Hi Sekhar,
What you described seems to be related to Clinical Document Architecture
(CDA):
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__apache.googlesource.com_ctakes_-2B_trunk_ctakes-2Dclinical-2Dpipeline_SystemArchitectureOverview.txt&d=DwIBaQ&c=qS4goWBT7poplM69zy_3xhKwEW14JZMSdioCoppxeFU&r=fs67GvlGZstTpyIisCYNYmQCP6r0bcpKGd4f7d4gTao&m=zrvmFugHM6SD_d67Z5AlmrKS-XJnKoFH3sPcFUjgu8g&s=2tf5LOZU9ITY3oyo-A7FetDbdBy8YmM57ys78r1rto8&e=
I never manage to get CDA working in cTAKES though.
