There is considerable research in the field of content-based medical image retrieval; however, few of the current systems investigate the relationship between the radiologists' visual impression of image similarity and the computer calculated content-based similarity. Furthermore, those research studies that investigate these relationships analyze the visual similarity with respect to degree of malignancy without including specific characteristics that are important in the diagnosis process.
