Summary Objectives: In this paper we study the impact of executing a medical image database query application on the grid. For lowering the total computation time, the image database is partitioned into subsets to be processed on different grid nodes. Methods: A theoretical model of the application complexity and estimates of the grid execution overhead are used to efficiently partition the database. Results: We show results demonstrating that smart partitioning of the database can lead to significant improvements in terms of total computation time. Conclusions: Grids are promising for content-based image retrieval in medical databases.

The advancements in the multimedia technologies result in the growth of the image databases. To retrieve images from such image databases using visual attributes of the images is a challenging task due to the close visual appearance among the visual attributes of these images, which also introduces the issue of the semantic gap. In this article, we recommend a novel method established on the bag-of-words (BoW) model, which perform visual words integration of the local intensity order pattern (LIOP) feature and local binary pattern variance (LBPV) feature to reduce the issue of the semantic gap and enhance the performance of the content-based image retrieval (CBIR). The recommended method uses LIOP and LBPV features to build two smaller size visual vocabularies (one from each feature), which are integrated together to build a larger size of the visual vocabulary, which also contains complementary features of both descriptors. Because for efficient CBIR, the smaller size of the visual vocabulary improves the recall, while the bigger size of the visual vocabulary improves the precision or accuracy of the CBIR. The comparative analysis of the recommended method is performed on three image databases, namely, WANG-1K, WANG-1.5K and Holidays. The experimental analysis of the recommended method on these image databases proves its robust performance as compared with the recent CBIR methods.

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) makes use of image features, such as color and texture, to index images with minimal human intervention. Content-based image retrieval can be used to locate medical images in large databases. This chapter introduces a content-based approach to medical image retrieval. Fundamentals of the key components of content-based image retrieval systems are introduced first to give an overview of this area. A case study, which describes the methodology of a CBIR system for retrieving digital mammogram database, is then presented. This chapter is intended to disseminate the knowledge of the CBIR approach to the applications of medical image management and to attract greater interest from various research communities to rapidly advance research in this field.

Among various content-based image retrieval (CBIR) methods based on active learning, support vector machine(SVM) active learning is popular for its application to relevance feedback in CBIR. However, the regular SVM active learning has two main drawbacks when used for relevance feedback. Furthermore, it’s difficult to collect vast amounts of labeled data and easy for unlabeled data to image examples. Therefore, it is necessary to define conditions to utilize the unlabeled examples enough. This paper presented a method of medical images retrieval about semi-supervised learning based on SVM for relevance feedback in CBIR. This paper also introduced an algorithm about defining two learners, both learners are re-trained after every relevance feedback round, and then each of them gives every image in a rank. Experiments show that using semi-supervised learning idea in CBIR is beneficial, and the proposed method achieves better performance than some existing methods.
