Bio-medical Ontologies Maintenance and Change Management

Multimedia Medical Databases 135
This variety is caused by the fact that there isn’t a method with universal validity
for all types of medical images and the research continues in this direction. We
also mention image mining and automate diagnosis as intense research directions
with a great impact in medical activity.
