Introduction

The caBIG® Annotation and Image Markup (AIM) project defines an information model and software tools to capture and create image annotations and markups using well-defined common data elements and controlled terminologies. The current release of the AIM version 3.0.2 model has an AIM C++ library. The library is a reusable component that implements the AIM 3.0.2 information model. The AIM C++ library is part of the AIM C++ Toolkit, which also includes the model, documentation, and examples.

The AIM model enhances interoperability and information exchange between imaging and health information systems. Annotations stored in a computable model such as AIM can be queried not only to find images containing similar image content but also to correlate human image observations with other biomedical data.

It addresses issues discovered after the initial release of AIM version 3.0 and adds Linux compatibility.
