Mathematical Linguistics in Cognitive Medical Image Interpretation Systems

The task of carrying out semantic searches for useful information was solved to some degree for textual data. Unfortunately, medical image analysis has demonstrated that the issue of searching for useful semantic information, on the basis of content, is an insolvable task, in practice. We have acquired a certain expertise in using automatic techniques for retrieving features that define the semantic content of visual data. Everything seems to suggest that the techniques of syntactic pattern analysis which are useful in computer-aided medical diagnosis can also be very helpful in tasks involving automatic understanding procedures used in medical image interpretation systems.
