About GoldMiner™ Global
ARRS GoldMiner™ Global finds radiology images from leading peer-reviewed, English-language radiology journals
using non-English search terms.
How It Works
ARRS GoldMiner™ Global uses translations of the
Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) vocabulary.
MeSH is the language of PubMed and MEDLINE -- it's used by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (part of NIH) to index the
biomedical literature.
When you enter a query, we pass it to a specialized interface at the National Library of Medicine,
which translates the term into English. We then use the English-language term to query our database of images.
Using ARRS GoldMiner™ Global
Select a language from the pull-down menu.
Enter a search term that describes a disease, imaging finding, or anatomic feature.
It's best to keep the term short and simple.
You can filter the search results by imaging modality (e.g., "CT"), age, and/or sex —
just click on the pull-down menus in the grey bar at the top of the search results page.
The selections will indicate the number of images for each selection.
Click on the small "thumbnail" image to open a full-size image on the original journal's web site.
You can link to the full text of the article as well — just click on the article's name.
