Abstract:
Medical images carry information in a special data format about an organ and the related pathologies. Physicians must decipher this information from the image. This paper suggests a framework for analyzing the image on the semantic level using linguistic data. The framework implements several numerical algorithms to extract the physical features of the existing objects. The semantic interpretation for identifying the organs and possible pathologies from the found physical features is done using fuzzy inference systems. The clinical testing of the framework is a work in progress but the laboratory results are promising.
