Chee Un Ng and Graham R. Martin, Content-Description Interfaces for Medical Imaging (August 20, 2001).
This technical report presents an introduction to content-based information retrieval (CBIR) in the domain of medical imaging. CBIR is a very actively researched area in recent years, however, utilising it in the healthcare community is still relatively new and unexplored. This report provides a survey of current CBIR research, with special emphasis on medical imaging. Research has also been done in the MPEG-7 area, especially on the Contour Shape Descriptor. An implementation and experimental results of the Contour Shape Descriptor using Curvature Scale Space (CSS) are also discussed.
