The evolution of image techniques in medicine has improved decision making based on physicians’ experience by means of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD). This paper focuses on the development of content-based image retrieval (CBIR) and CAD techniques applied to bronchoscopies and according to different pathologies. A novel pairwise comparison method based on binary logistic regression is developed to determine those images must alike to a new image from incomplete property information, after accounting for the physicians’ appreciation of the image similarity. This method is particularly useful when problems with both a large number of features and few images are involved.
