This mapping tool generates a semantic map of MeSH* terms based on their semantic relationships. Enter a medical concept term (for example: heart diseases) and choose how many terms you would like to display on the map (either 25, 50, 75 or 100), the system will generate an interactive map for you. You then can click on any term that appears on the map to generate a new map for that term. This iterative process can be continued to explore concept relationships.

* MeSH stands for"Medical Subject Headings" -- the controlled vocabulary thesaurus created and managed by the National Library of Medicine.
