Abstract

In this work it's presented a boolean information retrieval system that enhances an existing Turkish mammography report archive by enabling a retrospective search capability over it. With the help of this system, archived reports could be retrieved by using boolean queries, instead of being accessed only by patient id or study date. Moreover, this system can be used as a generic boolean information retrieval system for texts in Turkish. This article presents both the details of developed system and experiences in development period
