Abstract:
The paper presents an information system based on Oracle technologies (Oracle Database, Oracle interMedia and Oracle JDeveloper) dedicated for managing and querying medical multimedia databases. The database contains images related to the internal medicine area. This on-line application allows creation of complex medical files of patients that can be viewed and updated both by internist and general practitioner. The main functions of the application are: managing patients contact information, examinations, imagery and content-based visual query using color, texture and shape characteristics. It can be used in individual offices, laboratories or in the hospital clinics and departments. The application provides security and confidentiality for patient’s data.
