N2 - We promote the use of explicit medical knowledge to solve retrieval of information both visual and textual. For text, this knowledge is a set of concepts from a Meta-thesaurus, the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS). For images, this knowledge is a set of semantic features that are learned from examples using SVM within a structured learning framework. Image and text index are represented in the same way: a vector of concepts. The use of concepts allows the expression of a common index form: an inter-media index, offering the opportunity of homogeneous indexing/querying time fusion techniques. Top results obtained with concept based approaches show the potential of conceptual indexing.
