Embodiment Construction

[0105] The present invention includes two functional units, namely, a classifier as described below, and a retriever. The retriever 300 according to the present invention is configured to retrieve images classified by the classifier 600 , and the classifier 600 is configured to classify the images retrieved by the retriever 300 . Although they are described separately, it is conceivable that a system according to the present invention includes the retriever 300 and / or the classifier 600 . Furthermore, one or more databases may form part of such systems, which databases may be explicitly separate, or, as distributed databases, may also be partially incorporated within such systems.

Abstract

As medical imaging becomes more affordable, and the diversity of diagnostic modalities and therapeutic treatments increase, the amount of data being stored increases, and the problem becomes even more critical. One approach to improve retrieval efficiency of images is to employ semantics to establish a defined set of search and classification terms. However, such semantic systems still require the user to make a selection of the most appropriate term or terms to classify a report or image, and the accuracy of the results are thus dependent on the skill and knowledge of the classifier. According to a first aspect of the invention, a retriever is provided for retrieving a medical image having a searchable attribute, the retriever being configured to interface with a semantic database and an image database, and wherein the searchable attribute is determined by segmenting the medical image, using the anatomical model.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to retrieval and classification of medical images, and classification of medical reports. Background technique [0002] As medical image capture systems become more popular, many healthcare professionals, such as radiologists and physicians, are faced with the problem of reduced time available to review images. Therefore, there is an increasing need for a diagnostic support system that assists such examinations. [0003] One of the commonly used tools is access to records related to previous cases. These records may include medical images and text medical reports. For storage and retrieval, these records are collected in a database, which can take many forms, for example, a local folder on a computer system that can be accessed by a single user or multiple users, a PACS system, a system like mypacs.net( www.mypacs.net ) of the reference case manager. [0004] These databases include many reports, far exceeding the number of ca...
