Medical Image Management System with Automatic Image Feature Tag Adding Functions

In this paper, the new medical image management system is proposed. In this system, the system saves image data at any time and extracts feature quantity of each image automatically. At the same time, the information on feature quantity is stored in the metadata of the image. Since image processing is performed automatically, the users do not have burdens for adding feature information. To examine the validity of the proposed system, jpeg pictures which have Exchangeable image file format (Exif) data are stored and the image features are extracted. In the evaluation experiment, the experiment of system of operation is conducted and it is checked whether the system operates normally. At the same time, required time to extract features and write to the metadata is measure and evaluated.
