The purpose of the RadLex lexicon is to provide a uniform structure for capturing, indexing, and retrieving a variety of radiology information sources, such as teaching files, research data, and radiology reports. RadLex will unify and supplement radiology terms in other lexicons, such as the ACR Index, SNOMED, the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS), the Fleischner Society Glossaries, and DICOM. The terms will be made freely available on the Internet with cross references to these other lexicons and standards. A detailed overview of RadLex is available at <a href="http://mirc.rsna.org/radlex/RadLexOverview.pdf" target="_blank">http://mirc.rsna.org/radlex/RadLexOverview.pdf</a>
