# MRA - Proof of Concept of a Multilingual Report Annotator Web Application

## TL;DR

MRA is a web app that translates non-English radiology reports and annotates them with RadLex terms, aiming to improve text mining for diverse languages in medical imaging.

## Contribution

This paper presents a proof of concept for a multilingual radiology report annotation tool that addresses language barriers in medical text mining.

## Key findings

- Demonstrates feasibility of translating radiology reports
- Integrates RadLex ontology for annotation
- Provides open-source implementation

## Abstract

MRA (Multilingual Report Annotator) is a web application that translates Radiology text and annotates it with RadLex terms. Its goal is to explore the solution of translating non-English Radiology reports as a way to solve the problem of most of the Text Mining tools being developed for English. In this brief paper we explain the language barrier problem and shortly describe the application. MRA can be found at https://github.com/lasigeBioTM/MRA .
