RETRIEVING RADIOLOGICAL STUDIES USING AN IMAGE-BASED QUERY

摘要

The invention relates to a system (100) for identifying a document of a plurality of documents, based on a multidimensional image, the system (100) comprising an object unit (110) for identifying an object represented in the multidimensional image, based on a user input indicating a region of the multidimensional image, and further based on a model for modeling the object, determined by segmentation of the indicated region of the multidimensional image; a keyword unit (120) for identifying a keyword of a plurality of keywords, related to the identified object, based on an annotation of the model for modeling the object; and a document unit (130) for identifying the document of the plurality of documents, based on the identified keyword. Thus, the system advantageously facilitates a user's access to documents comprising information of interest based on a viewed multidimensional image. The document may be identified by its name or, preferably, by a link to the document. By following the link, the system may be further adapted to allow the user to retrieve the document stored in a storage comprising the plurality of documents, e.g. download a file comprising the document, and view the document on a display.
