Intelligent retrieval and classification in three-dimensional biomedical images - A systematic mapping

摘要

The massive generation of data has raised new research topics, such as methods to store and to retrieve large volumes of information. Some medical image modalities, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging, generate hundreds images series and many research groups have presented studies to develop intelligent techniques to classify and to retrieve this information. However, these studies are dispersed in several databases, and cataloged by using different terms. In this paper we present an analysis of these studies, through a Systematic Mapping that identifies methods and techniques currently being used in this scenario. In addition, we provide a perspective about the type of scientific literature the researchers have been disclosed their studies as well as impact on the scientific literature in dissemination of this knowledge domain. Some challenges and research opportunities are also highlighted in order to propitiate advances in the area.
