ABSTRACT
Using a feature vector comprising a collection of similarity cues, Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) localizes, obtains, and displays pictures that are similar to those specified in a query. It necessitates data in medical archives and from medical equipment as inputs in order to infer meaning following some processing. An issue that is comparable to the goal image in some way can benefit therapists. CBIR supports text-based retrieval and enhances evidence-based healthcare diagnosis, administration, education, and research. It permits visual/automated diagnosis and smart healthcare decisions in real-time remote screening/consultation/therapy, as well as store-and-forward testing, home care help, and total patient surveillance. Metrics aid in the comparison of visual data and aid in diagnostics. The application scenario can benefit specially built architectures. CBIR requires uniformity of file storage, querying processes, fast picture transmission, realistic databases, worldwide availability, Internet-based structures, and ease of access. This chapter discusses critical and challenging issues of visual content management in healthcare.
