Abstract
There is increasing interest in and need for innovative solutions to medical search. In this paper we present the EU-funded Khresmoi medical search and access system, currently in year 3 of 4 of development across 12 partners.
The Khresmoi system uses a component-based architecture housed in the cloud to allow for the development of several innovative applications to support target users' medical information needs. The Khresmoi search systems based on this architecture have been designed to support the multilingual and multimodal information needs of three target groups: the general public, general practitioners and consultant radiologists.
In this paper we focus on the presentation of the systems to support the latter two groups using semantic, multilingual text and image-based (including 2D and 3D radiology images) search.
