Ontologia de imagens médicas: tratamento e indexação de imagens

Abstract

In the field of health, it is seen that the information is appended to the imagery records of patients, which in turn can become a basic reference for access to information and knowledge with emphasis on the treatment of many pathologies, and as for research purposes. Such records, currently being carried out digitally and with the inclusion of technology in this area, the image also should be treated in the context of computing. It is as a problem to achieve a paradigm of how the image should be represented and retrieved in the context of information systems. Thus, it is proposed to create an ontology model description of the image based on the terms in the literature and listed carefully in order to cover all aspects of representation imagery. It is therefore in this context that this research fits contemplating the question: what criteria should be used to build a model of the ontology of medical images? What is the contribution of literature Area Information Science in the process of ontology construction? In this sense we did a literature search aimed to survey the state of the art object of study proposed here. To this end, we conducted a literature review, searching the literature of ontology concepts and image processing, with a greater focus on health. Based on this literature has been possible to reach some partial results so enumerating some terms that may be part of the ontology. This would achieve the aim of establishing an ontology description of medical imaging.
