چکیده
This thesis details the implementation of a brain tumour imaging database. The database server necessity is two-fold: it must support researchers seeking to determine the growth patterns and other properties exhibited by brain tumours, and must support physicians requiring data to formulate treatment plans as well. This project is undertaken as part of the Brain Tumour Analysis Project, whose members will be the first to benefit from the database server, hopefully gaining easy access to data for theory validation. The system presented follows the client-server model and provides secure encrypted transmission of data between the two ends to maintain medical record security. An easy-to-use front-end client has been created to abstract away any implementation details and allow a physician (the target user) to intuitively find data applicable to their treatment plan. A new data structure, called the Volume Distribution Tree, for the efficient processing of Jaccard queries is described.
