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 model has an AIM C++ Library. The library is a reusable component that implements the AIM 3.0 information model. AIM on ClearCanvas® Workstation uses the AIM toolkit to create an imaging workstation that produces AIM DICOM SR objects and XML documents. The 3.0.3 workstation provides additional [features].
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. The 3.0.3 workstation is an AIM 3.0 implementation. It allows workstation users to create and view AIM instances based on the AIM 3.0 information model.
The workstation can be downloaded from https://cabig.nci.nih.gov/tools/AIM.
