The enormous volume of medical images and the complexity clinical information systems make searching for relevant a challenging task. We describe techniques annotating using ontological semantic concepts. In contrast to extant multimedia annotation work, our technique uses context from mappings between multiple ontologies constrain space quickly identify have implemented system FMA RadLex anatomical ontologies, ICD disease taxonomy, coupled with DICOM standard easy deployment in current PAC environments. Preliminary quantitative qualitative experiments validate effectiveness
