BACKGROUND Assessment of cancer- and host-related prognostic factors has a long tradition in patients with brain metastases. In continuation of large-scale studies performed by the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) in the United States, the 4-tiered diagnosis-specific graded prognostic assessment (DS-GPA) score has been developed. It stratifies patients with common primary tumours metasta...

In this paper we propose an approach to manage in a correct way valid time semantics for semistructured temporal clinical information. In particular, we use a graph-based data model to represent radiological clinical data, focusing on the patient model of the well known DICOM standard, and define the set of (graphical) constraints needed to guarantee that the history of the given application do...

As with relational data, XML data changes over time with the creation, modification, and deletion of XML documents. Expressing queries on timevarying (relational or XML) data is more difficult than writing queries on nontemporal data.

For this goal, we propose concepts and graphic formalisms, in accordance with the abstractions of the tow levels of the entity-relationship model. These concepts allow the expression of requi...
