Abstract

Radiology teaching files serve as a reference in the diagnosis process and as a learning resource for radiology residents. Many public teaching file data sources are available online and private in-house repositories are maintained in most hospitals. However, the native interfaces for querying public repositories have limited capabilities. The Integrated Radiology Image Search (IRIS) Engine was designed to combine public data sources and in-house teaching files into a single resource. In this paper, we present and evaluate ranking strategies that prioritize the most relevant teaching files for a query. We quantify query context through a weighted text-based search and with ontology integration. We also incorporate an image-based search that allows finding visually similar teaching files. Finally, we augment text-based search results with image-based search – a hybrid approach that further improves search result relevance. We demonstrate that this novel approach to searching radiology data produces promising results by evaluating it with an expert panel of reviewers and by comparing our search performance against other publicly available search engines.
