Materials pointing to missing image files

I have a project that takes about 15 minutes for the materials dialog to open. After viewing the journal for the project, it appears there are 3 materials that have an image associated with them that no longer exist. Is there a way to search and find which materials these images are associated with so that they can be re-pathed or deleted? I don't want to browse through the 100's of materials in the material browser if possible.

 

Journal log entries for the missing images:

Use the paint tool in the project. Materials with missing images will show up with a warning symbol.

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.
