Abstract

In this paper, we provide an overview of the first workshop on Medical Content–Based Retrieval for Clinical Decision Support (MCBR–CDS), which was held in conjunction with the Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) conference in 2009 in London, UK. The goal of the workshop was to bring together researchers from diverse communities including medical image analyses, text and image retrieval, data mining, and machine learning to discuss new techniques for multimodal image retrieval and the use of images in clinical decision support. We discuss the motivation for this workshop, provide details about the organization and participation, discuss the current state–of–the–art in clinical image retrieval and the use of images for clinical decision support. We conclude with open issues and challenges that lie ahead for the domain of medical content–based retrieval.
