            Abstract : 
The demand for automatically annotating and retrieving medical images is growing faster than ever. In this paper, we present a novel medical image retrieval method based on SEMI-supervised semantic error-correcting output codes (SEMI-SECC). The experimental results on IMAGECLEF 2005 annotation data set clearly show the strength and the promise of the presented methods
