Visual Medical Dictionary from CureHunter looks promising. The main screen is split into 3 panes, with a search option over on the left. Typing in a term then allows you to select what you're interested in - I was searching for cataract and had the option of looking at the disease or the select therapy/procedure. A mouseover provides more information if you're not sure which you want to see.
Clicking on your choice then brings up a proper definition in the middle pane with a context tree, while the larger right had pane provides a visual offering, with cataract right at the centre, with various spokes of related subjects radiating out. Obviously I can then click on any of those if I wish. Clicking on my subject again returns a Patient-Physician research summary report (well, it will if I pay over my money - the main downside to this service is that it's not entirely free, but they have to make a living I guess!), and I also get to see some sample data on the subject. This includes key therapy, disease context article count and diseases related to. Though access to all of this data is at a charged service depending on what you're looking at.
