Shape and Semantics for 3D Anatomical Structure Retrieval

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a framework for the description of anatomical structures based on topological and geometrical features and on semantic annotation. The main goal is to enhance the description of an anatomical structure –understood as a 3D model– with other non-geometrical pieces of information relevant to the particular problem-context. Hybrid methods for similarity searches are then introduced and shown to be able to support effective case-based reasoning procedures. The approach is illustrated with examples from several medical application fields in order to discuss its potential impact.
