MedISeek: a web based diffusion system for medical visual information Silvio Antonio Carro, Jacob Scharcanski, and José Valdeni de Lima   View Paper (PDF)   Return to Tools for integrating and querying web information Abstract , and it has been used as a base for the implementation of the MedISeek (Medical Image Seek) prototype. This system allows authorized users to describe, store and retrieve medical images and their associated diagnostic information on the web for fast information exchange. Thus, this paper proposes a persistent structure for relational databases to storage and retrieve medical visual information based on the proposed the metadata model. A description of the prototype structure also is provided. ©2004 Association for Computing Machinery
