Abstract

The multifaceted description of image data presents a couple of problems for traditional information systems designed for textual data. Image databases require efficient and direct spatial search based on image objects and their relationships instead ofsom e cumbersome alphanumeric encodings oft he images. Current systems generally approach the problem from different views. Thus, they describe one image facet dependently on application domain. This paper presents a model for Medical Image Management System (MIMS) that allows physicians to retrieve images and required information by combining the strengths ofsev eral approaches. Via a convivial iconic interface, our system assign to each image object a graphical representation to describe image objects and their attributes. It allows also to automatically calculate their interrelations.
