A global description of medical image with high precision

Abstract: Medical Imaging suffers from different problems. This paper explores our solution that aims to provide efficient retrieval of medical imaging. Depending on the user, the same image can be described through different views. In essence, an image can be described on the basis of either low-level properties, such as texture or color; context, such as date of acquisition or author; or semantic content, such as real-world objects and relations. Our approach consists of providing a global description solution capable… Show more

“…Given that abnormalities are deWned as gross deviations from anatomical models, the spatial relationships of body structures are often critical to the diagnosis, prognosis, and mechanics of human disease. For example, spatial content in terms of relationships in surgical or radiation therapy of brain tumors is very decisive, because the location and related adjacent structures of a tumor have profound implications on a therapeutic decision [175]. Low-level features cannot always capture or describe these complex scenarios.…”

“…As such, the development of global features that can represent an entire medical image database seems to be practically infeasible. Aiming to provide eYcient retrieval of generic medical images with coherent and eVective objectivity of interpretation at diVerent facets (or views) of medical images, Chbeir and Favetta [195] proposed a global description of medical images in which a hyperspaced image data model was constructed [175,196]. The data model was structured as a multispaced form in which each space contained a set of features (contextual, physical, spatial, and semantic), and considered the medical image as a composition of contextual and content feature spaces.…”
