    Abstract: A system and method are provided for enabling a user to annotate a medical image. A collection of key-value pairs is provided, in which a key represents an image-observable quantity and a value represents the value of the image-observable quantity. A collection of structured finding objects is provided, wherein each structured finding object represents a set of key-value pairs, each set of key-value pairs representing a different annotation of the medical image. The user is enabled to select one or more of the collection of key-value pairs, thereby obtaining a user-selected structured finding object which represents a preliminary annotation of the medical image by the user. At least one recommended structured finding object is selected by using the user-selected structured finding object as input to a probabilistic recommendation algorithm. Feedback is provided to the user on the basis of the recommended structured finding object. The annotation is well suited for, e.g., pointer-based selection via a graphical user interface, speech recognition, etc. Moreover, machine interpretability may be improved compared to conventional string-based annotation.

    Abstract: A system (400) configured to generate an expanded query for an electronic health database, the system comprising: a user interface (410) configured to receive a query comprising a search string and information about a clinical context in which the search is being performed; and a processor (460) comprising: (i) a model creation module (420) configured to generate a clinical information model comprising one or more clinical concepts; (ii) a prioritization module (430) configured to prioritize the one or more clinical concepts identified in the generated clinical information model based on the received information about the clinical context in which the search is being performed and a clinical guideline or management plan for the patient; (iii) a query expansion module (440) configured to create an expanded query using the prioritized clinical concepts; and (iv) a query module (450) configured to query the electronic health database using the expanded query.
