Abstract

Content-based medical image retrieval (CBMIR) is the application of computer vision techniques to the problem of medical image search in large databases. Three main techniques are applied to check the applicability. The first technique implemented is distance metrics-based retrieval. The second technique implemented is transform-based retrieval. The transform which has lesser performance is combined with higher performance, to check the applicability of the results. The third technique implemented is content-based medical image retrieval. Texture and shape-based retrieval techniques are also applied. Shape-based retrieval is processed using canny edge with the Otsu method. The multifeature-based technique is also applied and analyzed. The best retrieval rate is achieved by multifeature-based retrieval with 100/50%. Based on more relevant retrieved images all the three, brain, liver, and knee, images are found to be retrieved more with 100/50%.

Although image retrieval have been frequently proposed for use in medical image management, only a few systems have been developed specifically for medical images Manjunath (1996); Shyu (1999); Smelders (2000); Shao Hong (2005); Dimitrovski (2015) and Van kitanovski (2017). Techniques applied for huge image based databases for exact clinical diagnosis with medical justification in this research is provided. A brief survey is given in Table 1.
