Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) in Remote Clinical Diagnosis and Healthcare
Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) locates, retrieves and displays images
alike to one given as a query, using a set of features. It demands accessible
data in medical archives and from medical equipment, to infer meaning after
some processing. A problem similar in some sense to the target image can aid
clinicians. CBIR complements text-based retrieval and improves evidence-based
diagnosis, administration, teaching, and research in healthcare. It facilitates
visual/automatic diagnosis and decision-making in real-time remote
consultation/screening, store-and-forward tests, home care assistance and
overall patient surveillance. Metrics help comparing visual data and improve
diagnostic. Specially designed architectures can benefit from the application
scenario. CBIR use calls for file storage standardization, querying procedures,
efficient image transmission, realistic databases, global availability, access
simplicity, and Internet-based structures. This chapter recommends important
and complex aspects required to handle visual content in healthcare.Comment: 28 pages, 6 figures, Book Chapter from "Encyclopedia of E-Health and

Intelligent biomedical engineering operations by cloud computing technologies
Cloud computing is an effective way of using hardware- and software-oriented resources at optimum levels. Thanks to this technology, it is possible to share large amounts of resources effectively and accurately among target users. Because it is a rapidly growing technology, one cannot deny that it has remarkable relations with alternative research fields having great potential and application scope. It is clear that artificial intelligence is one of these fields. As associated with both these research fields, the purpose of this chapter is to examine artificial-intelligence-based biomedical engineering works supported/ connected with cloud computing. Because it has a vital importance with applications regarding the medical/health problems, biomedical engineering needs support from the most recent technologies and research fields in this manner. So, the chapter provides a view over the intersection of these three research fields as trying to improve awareness among interested readers. © 2018, IGI Global. All rights reserved
