ABOUT GAMUTS.NET

The "gamuts.net" web site lets you navigate the Radiology Gamuts Ontology (RGO), a knowledge resource for radiology diagnosis. RGO hosts more than 2,000 differential-diagnosis listings for imaging findings in all body systems. You can view all of the causes of an finding, then click on one of the diagnoses to view all of the findings that it causes.

 

STATISTICS
  • 16,839 entities
    • 12,822 "causes" (conditions that cause findings)
    • 4,691 "effects" (e.g., imaging findings)

  • 1,790 hierarchical ("is-a") links
  • 55,619 causal ("may-cause") links
