TITLE: Advanced Biomedical Informatics Applications: Extraction and Use of Knowledge from Biomedical Images and Text
PRESENTER: Sameer Antani, http://archive.nlm.nih.gov/staff/antani.php, santani@mail.nih.gov
AFFILIATION:Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications, National Library of Medicine/NIH, http://archive.nlm.nih.gov
DATE: Tuesday 28th August 2007
TIME: 12:00:00
PLACE: CSE Seminar Room, Level 1, K17
ABSTRACT:
We are witnessing an increasing influence of imaging on clinical
medicine and medical research. Along with large image repositories,
databases also hold significant text information drawn from patient
records, health studies, and relevant research articles. A need for
R&D in extraction and use of knowledge from these heterogeneous, but
related, information archives is underscored. In my talk, I will
present some of the research in this area done at the Lister Hill
National Center for Biomedical Communications, an intramural R&D
division of the U.S. National Library of Medicine which is a part of
the U.S. National Institutes of Health. I will describe our work on
Biomedical Multimedia Database Systems, Content-Based Image Retrieval,
and Image and Text Integration.
