MIMS: a prototype for medical image retrieval
Richard Chbeir, Youssef Amghar, André Flory · 2000
With the advent of multimedia information, several problems have bounded traditional database approaches designed strictly for alphanumeric data. One of the many induced problems is the retrieving process. All current proposed systems approach the retrieval problem using one aspect of the concerned media (image, voice and video). Our prototype, called Medical Image Management System (MIMS), is based on a synergy of several approaches and conceived to yield an effective system appropriated to retrieve images in medical domain. The main goals of our system are to acquire significant information associated to medical imaging and answer complex medical queries. This paper presents MIMS prototype and show how the end-user is able to process easily both complex medical image retrieval and storage.
