The Annotation and Image Markup (AIM) project includes an information model (the AIM model) and software tools to capture and create image annotations and markups using well-defined common data elements and controlled terminologies. The AIM model enhances interoperability and information exchange between imaging and health information systems.It captures the descriptive information for an image with user-generated graphical symbols placed on the image into a single common information source.  You can query AIM annotations to find images containing similar image content and correlate human image observations with other biomedical data.
