Classification of Radiographs in the ‘Image Retrieval in Medical Applications’ - System (IRMA)

چکیده
In this paper we present a new approach to classifying radiographs, which is the first important task of the IRMA system. Given an image, we compute posterior probabilities for each image class, as this information is needed for further IRMA processing. Classification is done by using an extended version of Simard’s tangent distance within a kernel density based classifier. We propose a new distortion model for radiographs and prove its effectiveness by applying the method to 1617 radiographs coming from daily routine. Although the distortion model alone yields very good results, the best recognition rates are obtained by combining it with tangent distance, i.e. by computing a ‘distorted tangent distance’.

متن کاملContent Based Radiographic Images Indexing and Retrieval Using Pattern Orientation Histogram
Introduction: Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is a method of image searching and retrieval in a database. In medical applications, CBIR is a tool used by physicians to compare the previous and current medical images associated with patients pathological conditions. As the volume of pictorial information stored in medical image databases is in progress, efficient image indexing and retri...
متن کاملA Radon-based Convolutional Neural Network for Medical Image Retrieval
Image classification and retrieval systems have gained more attention because of easier access to high-tech medical imaging. However, the lack of availability of large-scaled balanced labelled data in medicine is still a challenge. Simplicity, practicality, efficiency, and effectiveness are the main targets in medical domain. To achieve these goals, Radon transformation, which is a well-known t...
متن کاملStatistical framework for model-based image retrieval in medical applications
Recently, research in the field of content-based image retrieval has attracted a lot of attention. Nevertheless, most existing methods cannot be easily applied to medical image databases, as global image descriptions based on color, texture, or shape do not supply sufficient semantics for medical applications. The concept for content-based image retrieval in medical applications (IRMA) is there...
متن کاملA monohierarchical multiaxial classification code for medical images in content-based retrieval
Large efforts have been made for general applications of content-based image retrieval (CBIR). Established CBIRsystems globally evaluate color, texture, and also shape for retrieval. In medical imaging, local image characteristics are fundamental for image interpretation, which is based on a large amount of a-priori knowledge. Therefore, CBIR is rather seldom applied to medical images. Successf...
