Abstract:
A novel mono-hierarchical muti-axiel classification coding scheme for medical image retrieval is proposed.The so-called MOAB coding scheme consists of four axes with three to four positions ranging from0to9,from A to Z.In particular,the modality code M describes imaging modality and relevant technical detail,and the orientation code O models examined body orientation.The anatomy code A refers to the body region examined and the biology code B describes the biological system examined.The MOAB classification-coding scheme enables a unique classifi-cation of medical images so that medical image retrieval can be efficient.The code is flexible and easy to be ex-tended.
