This research introduces a novel approach to evaluate the semantic richness of images based on their storytelling capacity, moving beyond basic entity-level complexity assessment.

• Establishes metrics for measuring how well images can convey complex narratives
• Identifies characteristics that make images semantically rich and engaging
• Demonstrates applications across medical, educational, and creative domains
• Builds on established clinical tools like the Cookie Theft picture used in cognitive assessments

For medical professionals, this framework offers enhanced tools for cognitive and language assessment, potentially improving diagnostic capabilities for conditions affecting communication and comprehension. The methodology provides a standardized way to select appropriate visual stimuli for patient evaluation.
