Abstract
A method comprising using at least one hardware processor for automatically receiving, using a user interface associated with the hardware processor(s), an annotation for a medical image of a patient, the medical image associated with a suspected disease of the patient and metadata of the patient. The hardware processor(s) are configured for performing a search query in real time on a database for the annotation. The hardware processor(s) are configured for receiving at least one result of the search query. The hardware processor(s) are configured for retrieving at least one other medical image comprising at least one other annotation, wherein the at least one other medical image is associated with the at least one result. The hardware processor(s) are configured for displaying, on the user interface, the at least one other medical image and the at least one other annotation.
