Re: Adding detection of multi-dimensional measurements: MeasurementAnnotation [EXTERNAL]

Hi Rehan,

You have my apologies if somebody already replied to this.  I am trying to catch up with older emails and I am probably missing quite a few in my rush.

Could you please create a jira item for the functionality and attach the modified code?  Then it can be reviewed and added to ctakes.  Here is an example: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CTAKES-441?jql=project%20%3D%20CTAKES%20AND%20text%20~%20%22lab%20value%22

Cheers,
Sean

Subject: Adding detection of multi-dimensional measurements: MeasurementAnnotation [EXTERNAL]

Hi

I am new here. There is a requirement in my project to detect tumor/lesion
sizes from clinical text using ctakes. I found out there is an annotation
scheme called MeasurementAnnotation which detects things like 1.5 cm.
However, it is unable to annotate area (2 x 3 cm), volume (2 x 3 x 4 cm)
measurements. Now, I was able to change the code of the MeasurementFSM and
couple of other files to handle the same and it works fine.

Would it be possible to add this item in the list of features?

Thanks
Rehan
