You might be interested in work by Computer Engineering Branch at
Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications at U.S.
National Library of Medicine, specifically
Content-Based Image Retrieval

Go to http://lhc.nlm.nih.gov

Select Image Processing
Select Content-Based Image Retrieval

One of the things CBIR2 prototype is designed to support is
query-by-sketch.  They are using spinal x-rays, but maybe their
method has more general application.

At the left, you can select Technical Reports, then:
Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) of Biomedical Images (HTML) (PDF) 

for another report on this work.

The Branch Chief is George Thoma thoma at nlm.nih.gov
