ship with the Laboratory for Applied Computing/

Federal University of Santa Maria.

The proposed architecture was implemented on

the Animati PACS. The structure can be extended by

integrating new specific image processing modules

to the different exams types. The system allows the

implementation of new techniques for extraction

and comparison of features. Was used the DICOM

SR standard which aims to ensure interoperability.

The use of standards is justified by the wide vari-

ety of medical equipment manufacturers. Other

advantages are observed in the use of DICOM SR

in developing a CBIR system, such as the reuse of

solutions already tested and approved.

The validation of the work was done through ...
