An effective image retrieval system is required as the amount of medical imaging data is increasing recently. Authors reviewed the recent development of text-based medical image retrieval including the use of controlled vocabularies - RadLex (Radiology Lexicon), FMA (Foundational Model of Anatomy), etc - natural language processing, semantic ontology, and image annotation and markup.

The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) is improving reporting practices by developing an online library of clear and consistent report templates. To compare term occurrences in free-text radiology reports and RSNA reporting templates, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test method was applied to investigate how much of the content of conventional narrative reports is covered by the terms included in the RSNA reporting templates. The results show that the RSNA reporting templates cover most terms that appear in actual radiology reports. The Wilcoxon test may be helpful in evaluatingexisting templates and guiding the enhancement of reporting templates.
