Al-Safadi}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {With the advance of multimedia and diagnostic images technologies, the number of radiographic images is increasing constantly. The medical field demands sophisticated systems for search and retrieval of the produced multimedia document. This paper presents an ongoing research that focuses on the semantic content of radiographic image documents to facilitate semantic-based radiographic image indexing and a retrieval system. The proposed model would divide a radiographic image document, based on its semantic content, and would be converted into a logical structure or a semantic structure. The logical structure represents the overall organization of information. The semantic structure, which is bound to logical structure, is composed of semantic objects with interrelationships in the various spaces in the radiographic image.}, journal = {International Journal of Biomedical and Biological Engineering}, volume = {6}, number = {5}, year = {2012}, pages = {127 - 130}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/14452}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/65}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 65, 2012}, }
