Abstract

Medical information retrieval systems help support health care experts in diagnostic and treatment decisions through the management of large amounts of clinical data. However, the heterogeneity and the ever growing amount of data produced in medical environments poses several challenges. In this paper, we propose a multimodal search interface for medical articles to provide better analysis tools for diagnosis and medical case retrieval. The underlying framework entered the Medical ImageCLEF 2013 challenge and is based on state of the art information retrieval, image retrieval and data fusion techniques.
