在健康醫學網格上建立以內容為基礎的醫學影像擷取系統

Building A Content Based Image Retrieval System of Medical Image on Health Grid

中文摘要

隨著科技不斷地進步,各種醫療影像設備的解析度及精確度亦相對提升,所產生 的影像做為醫療診斷的輔助工具,對於醫師診斷病情及提昇醫療品質,有相當大 的幫助。有相當大的貢獻。然而,較高品質的影像也意味儲存空間的需求加大;

而且隨著檢查病人的人數增多,儲存空間的要求更是成等比級數的增加!管理日 益龐大的影像資料,是一項艱钜的挑戰。

龐大的醫學影像,無可避免的要用到資料庫加以儲存。如何管理以及從資料庫當 中取得所需要的資料,是目前相當熱門的課題。各種研究從影像資料庫中擷取相 似影像的方法當中,以內容為基礎的影像擷取方法,是目前較多人研究的課題之 一。本研究以臺北醫學大學將近 700,000 張的內視鏡及超音波影像的互動式臨 床影像實驗室的影像資料庫,採用以內容為基礎的影像擷取方法(Content Based Image Retrieval),嘗試建置一個醫學影像擷取系統,以提供醫師快速比對影像,

找到類似的病例可以參考,以做出更精確的診斷。

近年來開放原始碼(Open Source)軟體的應用逐漸受到眾人的注意,甚至有開放原 始碼的以內容為基礎的影像擷取系統(GNU Image Finding Tool, GIFT )。我們基於 此軟體加以應用至醫學影像領域,大大節省了軟體開發時間及成本,同時後續的 系統微調及效能最佳化也較一般的商業系統來得容易。採用開放原始碼系統是本 研究的特色之一。對於大量的醫學影像在進行內容為基礎的影像擷取時,所引申 出大量儲存空間及運算能力的需求,我們引用網格技術來協助解決效能上的不 足。

網格技術 (Grid Technology) 是一種能運用大量的儲存空間、允許資料交換和分 享,同時能提供處理資料所需的運算能力的一種新興技術。而專門應用於健康醫 學領域之網格,我們稱之為健康醫學網格(Health Grid)。

本研究在臺北醫學大學資訊服務中心、臺北醫學大學附設醫院、國立台灣大學計 算機中心之間建立起一個測式性的健康醫學網格。並且在此實驗網格之上,結合 開放原始碼之影像擷取軟體 (GIFT)以及互動式臨床影像實驗室的醫學影像資料 庫,在健康醫學網格上建立以內容為基礎的醫學影像擷取系統。

英文摘要

With the increasing usage of the Internet and multimedia, a large amount of digital images are produced in the digital world right now. They are produced in many different domains, for example entertainment, commerce, education and biomedicine.

The increasing usage of digital equipment in the hospital, such as CT, MRI,

ultrasound and endoscope come with DICOM image formats, also produce lots of medical images per day. The volume of digital images archive is growing rapidly.

Therefore, a good image retrieval system can help people to find out the images they want effectively. When it comes to medical filed, a good CBIR system of medical image can help medical education, research and even on diagnostics support.

Building a CBIR system is never an easy work, especially in medical images. Thanks for the GIFT (GNU Image Finding Tool) project which already had a great CBIR system and make it open source software. It''s a nice CBIR system, which is free and open source. We use it to build a CBIR system, and try to apply it to our Clinical Interactive Image Bank of Taipei Medical University Hospital. The result is the medGIFT system.

The Clinical Interactive Image Bank focus on the ultrasound images and endoscope images. However, the images inside the Image Bank are too big to fit into a single CBIR GIFT system. Therefore, we try to apply the Grid Computing technology to improve the speed of the system.

The result of our experiment is fair good and the grid technology does improve the performance of medGIFT system. It made a good example of applying open source software on medical usage. The medGridGIFT system can support Evidence Based Medicine, Case Based Reasoning, and medical education to find similar case and images.
