Application For Complex Querying Of The Databases Obtained By Extracting Data From DICOM Files

The paper presents a Java based application that implements a series of algorithms for extracting the alphanumeric data and image(s) from the DICOM standard files produced by medical devices. They are stored in a MS SQL server database. A complex querying of this database, based on several criteria: simple text-based or content-based image query on color or texture feature, extracted from color and gray-scale image, is presented. The application can be used in the diagnosis process, in the research or educational activity, in building a complete database for patients at hospital level, or even on county or national level
