Image query and indexing for digital x rays
نویسندگان
چکیده
At the Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications, a research and development part of the National Library of Medicine, we are building a biomedical information resource consisting of digitized x-ray images and associated textual data. We have described this resource and the software system (the Web-based Medical Information Retrieval System, or WebMIRS) elsewhere [1]. In this paper we discuss our work to incorporate into our archive quantitative and structural data that is directly derived from the digital images. We also discuss methods to enable query of this data.

Purpose: This paper presents various image indexing techniques and discusses their advantages and limitations. Methodology: conducting a review of the literature review, it identifies three main image indexing techniques, namely concept-based image indexing, content-based image indexing and folksonomy. It then describes each technique. Findings: Concept-based image indexing is te...
متن کاملImage quality enhancement in digital panoramic radiograph
One of the most common positioning errors in panoramic radiography is palatoglossal air space above the apices of the root of maxillary teeth. It causes a radiolucency obscuring the apices of maxillary teeth. In the case of this positioning error, the imaging should be repeated. This causes the patient be exposed to radiation again. To avoid the repetition of exposing harmful X-rays to the pati...
متن کاملQualitative Evaluation of Digital Hand X-rays is Not a Reliable Method to Assess Bone Mineral Density
Object: The gold standard for evaluating bone mineral density is dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Prior studies have shown poor reliability using analog wrist X-rays in diagnosing osteoporosis. Our goal was to investigate if there was improved diagnostic value to visual assessment of digital hand X-rays in osteoporosis screening. We hypothesized that similar to analog counterparts, dig...
متن کاملAn Approach toward the Efficient Indexing and Retrieval on Medical X-Ray Images
Today content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has become one of the most active areas of research in computer vision. With rapid advances in digital imaging modalities, the use of CBIR to search for the clinically relevant and visually similar medical images is highly felt nowadays. This paper proposes a system for content based image retrieval of X-ray images.The six classes of X-ray images used ...
متن کاملIdentifying image structures for content-based retrieval of digitized spine x-rays
We present ongoing work for the computer-assisted indexing of biomedical images at the Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications, a research and development division of the National Library of Medicine (NLM). For any class of biomedical images, a problem confronting the researcher in image indexing is developing robust algorithms for localizing and identifying anatomy relevant f...
