Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a new approach to medical image indexing. This approach utilizes image features (content) to drive the assignment of terms from a controlled vocabulary in medicine (MeSH). This paper reports preliminary results from an exploratory study to determine the effectiveness of exploiting image content features for index term assignment within the context of a library of medical images.
