# Medical Document Parsing

> Extract structured clinical data from lab report documents

## Medical Document Parsing

The **Medical Document Parsing API** allows you to upload lab report documents (PDF or image formats) and extract **structured clinical data** from unstructured files. It converts scanned or digital lab reports into machine-readable formats suitable for downstream clinical and analytical workflows.

## What It Extracts

Parsed results include:

* Lab test names
* Measured values
* Units of measurement
* Normal reference ranges
* Associated clinical metadata

The output is available in:

* **FHIR format**
* **Enhanced JSON format**

***

## Use Cases

* Digitizing scanned lab reports
* Enriching patient health records
* Enabling search and analytics on lab data
* Powering clinical workflows and decision support systems

***

## How It Works

1. **Upload Report**\
   Upload a scanned lab report (PDF or image).\
   You receive a `document_id` for the uploaded file.

2. **Retrieve Parsed Report**\
   Use the `document_id` to fetch structured results in:
   * FHIR format, or
   * Enhanced JSON format

3. **Delete Report**\
   Remove the uploaded document using its `document_id`.

## Key Characteristics

* Supports both PDF and image-based lab reports
* Produces structured, machine-readable clinical data
* Designed for integration into clinical systems and AI workflows
* Informational extraction only; no clinical interpretation

***

## Scope & Limitations

* Focused on laboratory report parsing
* Accuracy depends on document quality and scan clarity
* Parsed data should be clinically verified before use
