Prasanna, I'm not aware of ICD9 codes being used within cTAKES. Is there a specific piece of code you're referencing when you say: "I found that ICD9 code is used internally by the cTakes for finding the entities."

Hi, I have some clarifications regarding ICD9 code. I found that cTakes uses different mapping technique to resolve the entities from the diagnosis. I want to know how they are doing this for ICD9. When I run the code, in the output it is showing the various tagged entities with SNOMED CT code. But my question, why I am not able to access the ICD9 code. I found that ICD9 code is used internally by the cTakes for finding the entities. How can I find the IC9 code for the entities ? Can you please tell me if there is any module which is using ICD9 code in the cTakes. I need to pipeline the ICD9 code also separately. Regards, Prasanna
