Abstract
Medical image indexing and storage is gaining increased importance. Indexing and retrieval of these images efficiently is becomes an essential task. Indexing of medical images using text or numbers is a cumbersome task, difficult to memorize and time consuming. Indexing and Retrieval of images can be done through query by text and query by image which is also known as content based image retrieval (CBIR). Different medical images possess different texture and shape features. This paper presents a novel and hybrid approach of managing a huge medical image database and retrieving a medical image from the database by fusion of shape and texture features. Image is retrieved by comparing the features of query image and images of database. We attach some document information with each medical image such as patient identity, diseases, age, and case history. It can be used for further diagnostic and analysis purpose. Further the proposed algorithm also updates the database automatically if new query is found. MATLAB ® 7.01 and its image processing toolbox have been used to implement the algorithm.
