Using agents for feature extraction: Content based image retrieval for medical applications

The plethora and variety of medical data (text, diagrams, images, videos, and other types of clinical values), together with the fact that they are stored in worldwide distributed databases, creates new challenges when attempting to retrieve relevant information. Furthermore, this information is usually attached to time. The aim of this work is to present Information Systempsilas Architecture for content-based multimedia and information retrieval in medical information systems using intelligent techniques and to discuss some of the open research issues in this area.
