Cross reference linking
Skill aizech/clinical-skills/.bob/skills/cross-reference-linking
A collection of AI agent skills focused on medical imaging and healthcare workflows. Built for radiologists, healthcare IT professionals, and researchers who want AI coding agents to help with imaging workflows, clinical documentation, AI integration, and medical research. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, and many other agents.

What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Links current findings to priors, related literature, and correlated data. Use when user mentions "compare to priors", "find prior studies", "correlate with", "longitudinal comparison", or needs historical context.

Cross-Reference Linking Skill
Triggers
- "compare to priors"
- "find prior studies"
- "correlate with"
- "longitudinal comparison"
- "followup from"
- "related findings"
- "pathology correlation"
Parameters
reference_type(required): Type of cross-reference neededprior_studies- Historical imaging comparisonliterature- Relevant published cases or studiesfollowup- Sequential study comparisonmultimodality- Different modality correlationpathology- Radiology-pathology correlationclinical- EHR/clinical data correlation
finding_summary(required): Current finding to cross-referencepatient_id(optional): Patient identifier for prior searchdate_range(optional): Time window for prior search
Cross-Reference Types
Prior Study Comparison
- Modality, date, and key findings of historical studies
- Size/dimension comparisons for measurable findings
- Density/signal intensity comparisons
- Change assessment (stable, improved, progressed)
Literature Correlation
- Similar published cases
- Expected imaging appearances
- Atypical presentations
- Prognostic implications
Pathology Correlation
- Common pathologies for imaging appearance
- Staging implications (TNM, etc.)
- Molecular markers and imaging correlates
- Treatment response patterns
Clinical Correlation
- Lab values relevant to imaging findings
- Symptoms and clinical history
- Treatment history and timeline
Output Format
Returns structured JSON with:
- Prior finding references with dates
- Comparison metrics (size, characteristics)
- Change assessment with confidence
- Recommendations for followup
- Related literature citations
Usage Examples
reference_type: prior_studies
finding_summary: 2.5 cm lung nodule right upper lobe
patient_id: MRN12345
reference_type: pathology
finding_summary: irregular spiculated mass left lower lobe
reference_type: followup
finding_summary: 1.2 cm thyroid nodule compared to 6 months prior
Data Sources
- PACS for prior imaging studies
- RIS for structured reports
- EHR for clinical correlation
- Literature databases for research correlation
- Pathology system for radiology-pathology correlation
