In this work we present a method for the interactive feature space exploration and content-based database visualization (CBDV) of medical image databases. Using Self Organizing Maps it is possible to visualize the content of a medical image database. This visualization provides the basis for an interactive visual exploration of the meaning of image features and a characterization of the database content.
