In this paper presents the region based classification algorithm for medical image database. It provides better results and efficient retrieval of medical images. The proposed method follows three steps. Firstly, segment the medical in to regions based on edge following technique. This technique is more accurate and efficiency compare to existing contour methods. Secondly, calculate the feature vectors of each region using signature. Thirdly, calculate the distance between query feature and database image features. The efficiency and performance of the presented method has been evaluated using a dataset of about 500 simulated. The experimental results show that the proposed method has more efficiently and effectively for medical applications in CBIR systems.
