Medical (Visual) Information Retrieval

  • Chapter
Information Retrieval Meets Information Visualization (PROMISE 2012)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 7757))

Included in the following conference series:

Abstract

This text gives a broad overview of the domain of visual medical information retrieval and medical information analysis/search in general. The goal is to describe the specifics of medical information analysis and more specifically of medical visual information retrieval in this book of the PROMISE winter school. The text is meant to deliver an annotated bibliography of important papers and tendencies in the domain that can then guide the reader to find more detailed information on this quickly developing research domain. This text is by no means a systematic review in the field, so some citations might be subjective but should lead the reader to further publications. The given references will provide a solid starting point for exploring the domain of medical visual information retrieval.
