@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/12638, title = {A Medical Images Based Retrieval System using Soft Computing Techniques}, author = {Pardeep Singh and Sanjay Sharma}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) has been one on the most vivid research areas in the field of computer vision over the last 10 years. Many programs and tools have been developed to formulate and execute queries based on the visual or audio content and to help browsing large multimedia repositories. Still, no general breakthrough has been achieved with respect to large varied databases with documents of difering sorts and with varying characteristics. Answers to many questions with respect to speed, semantic descriptors or objective image interpretations are still unanswered. In the medical field, images, and especially digital images, are produced in ever increasing quantities and used for diagnostics and therapy. In several articles, content based access to medical images for supporting clinical decision making has been proposed that would ease the management of clinical data and scenarios for the integration of content-based access methods into Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) have been created. This paper gives an overview of soft computing techniques. New research directions are being defined that can prove to be useful. Still, there are very few systems that seem to be used in clinical practice. It needs to be stated as well that the goal is not, in general, to replace text based retrieval methods as they exist at the moment.}, journal = {International Journal of Biomedical and Biological Engineering}, volume = {4}, number = {7}, year = {2010}, pages = {285 - 290}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/12638}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/43}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 43, 2010}, }
