One method includes identifying a first plurality of image features referenced in text included in the medical image report using natural language processing, identifying a second plurality of image features in images included in the medical image study, and comparing the first plurality of image features and the second plurality of image features. In response to a first image feature included in the first plurality of image features and a second image feature included in the second plurality of image features matching, the method includes creating a data link between the medical image report and an image included in the medical image study including the second image feature, and automatically inserting the data link into the medical image report, the data link selectable by a user to display the image.
