Hi Abad,

Methods for populating these two attributes have not been implemented in 
cTAKES.  In cTAKES, there is a method for linking anatomical sites to 
diseases/disorders, sign/symptoms or procedures:

Subject: Missing body side and laterality attribute in AnatomicalSiteMention 
[EXTERNAL]

* External Email - Caution *


Hello Team,

We introduced cTAKES as our NLP engine to parse clinical data recently in our  
profile. Though we are able to parse the clinical data at high level, we are 
not able to get values for attributes like bodySide and bodyLaterality. For eg: 
for the below text

"He had a slight fracture in the proximal right fibula"

It should have ideally populated values for 'bodySide' and 'bodyLaterality' in 
the 'AnatomicalSiteMention' as "right" and  "proximal" respectively. These 
attributes are critical information in our profile. We tried different 
possibilities and still it's not working. We are new to cTAKES so we would like 
to know what should be the probable fix for it.  Do we need to add any specific 
changes in our piper file to have AnalysisEngine needed for the same. I tried 
to unit test using the 'RelationExtractorAnnotatorsTest' coming under 
'ctakes-relation-extractor' module but couldn't find an annotator.xml for the 
same. Pls. advise on how to proceed


Thanks & Regards
