Abstract

Advances in medical imaging technologies have assured the availability of more and more precise and detailed images whose analysis has became a necessary step in the diagnostic, prognostic and monitoring processes of main pathologies. Such development has stressed the need for advanced systems that are not limited to storage and management but include intelligent representation and retrieval of images. In this paper, we report current results of a medical warehouse we are developing for mining medical images, thus offering medical experts and researchers the possibility of storing, retrieving, analyzing and investigating biomedical images to discover novel knowledge relevant to diagnostic processes.
