Similar images would be useful to radiologists for their image interpretation of unknown difficult clinical cases in their daily work. In fact, previous studies indicated that radiologists performance was significantly improved by use of similar images in the distinction between malignant and benign lesions for lung nodules in low dose CT, and microcalcifications and masses in mammograms. In order to implement the retrieval and display of similar images, it is necessary to understand a number of questions related to subjective and objective evaluation, and their measures on similar images. Based on this review article for the work done over the last ten years or so, the similarity of images can be quantified reliably and consistently, and thus can be subjected to rigorous scientific investigations and discussion which would lead to the establishment of science of similar images.
