Hello, I think I have hit a wall in terms of applying disambiguation in the cTakes context. I have come across the following example where what I consider to be a lab result (Monocyte Count) is picked up as a procedure, apparently, in alignment with UMLS coding Scheme = SNOMED Code =67776007, CUI =C0200637 , TUI =T059 , preferredText = " Monocyte Count Procedure" coding Scheme = SNOMED Code =365631001, CUI =C0200637 , TUI =T059 , preferredText = " Monocyte Count Procedure"
While they share the CUI (at UMLS level, due to the reconciliation of different ontologies), they are quite different concepts. 67776007 stands for "Monocyte count (procedure)" while 365631001 stands for "Finding of monocyte count (finding)". So is it fair to say that cTakes is not fully aligned with SNOMED? Is there a rule on how such concepts may be merged under the same CUI? Would using YTEX resolve similar issues? And also I'm using cTakes 4.0.0 and the YTEX installation guide appears to be outdated - the patch download is missing , names of files missing etc. If YTEX is the answer are there any updated instructions? If it is not are you using other UIMA-friendly solutions?
