Medical image content-based retrieval entails several possible scenarios. One scenario relates to retrieving based on image landmarks. In this scenario, quantitative image primitives are extracted from the image content, in an extensive pre-processing phase, following which these quantities serve as metadata in the archive, for any future search. A second scenario is one in which image-to-image...

In this paper, we propose an integrated approach for medical image retrieval. In particular, we present a series of experiments in medical image retrieval task. There are three main goals for our participation of this task. First, we will test traditional well-known weighting models used in text retrieval domain, such as BM25, TFIDF and Language Model (LM), for context-based image retrieval. Se...
