Inter-media Concept-Based Medical Image Indexing and Retrieval with UMLS at IPAL
نویسندگان
چکیده
We promote the use of explicit medical knowledge to solve retrieval of information both visual and textual. For text, this knowledge is a set of concepts from a Meta-thesaurus, the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS). For images, this knowledge is a set of semantic features that are learned from examples using SVM within a structured learning framework. Image and text index are represented in the same way: a vector of concepts. The use of concepts allows the expression of a common index form: an inter-media index, offering the opportunity of homogeneous indexing/querying time fusion techniques. Top results obtained with concept based approaches show the potential of conceptual indexing.

متن کاملProspective Study for Semantic Inter-Media Fusion in Content-Based Medical Image Retrieval
One important challenge in modern Content-Based Medical Image Retrieval (CBMIR) approaches is represented by the semantic gap, related to the complexity of the medical knowledge. Among the methods that are able to close this gap in CBMIR, the use of medical thesauri/ontologies has interesting perspectives due to the possibility of accessing on-line updated relevant webservices and to extract re...

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...
