Abstract

One purpose of our research works is a contribution to a semantic indexing of structured reports in accordance with the DICOM SR standard and we propose to guide this process with an ontology. In this paper, we describe our motivations for building this ontology according to a modularization approach assisted by the reuse of existing ontologies. Moreover, a prototype of a bilingual visualization tool is suggested. It allows specialists during their semantic indexing to load and visualize ontologies or modules from an ontology in a multi-axial way. Currently, six axes are planned: patient context, anatomy, pathology, visual descriptor, technique and recommendation.
