The paper presents a software tool implemented using Firebird and Delphi technologies, 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 personal folders; simple text based query; content based query using color characteristic for images provided by medical devices. 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.
