Internal medicine if one of the main branches of general medicine that sets the foundation for multiple specialties,cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, nephrology, hematology, rheumatology, etc. It uses a large number of instrumental laboratory explorations(radiology, ultrasound, endoscopy, electrocardiogram, CT, MRI, histological cups etc.),which provides visual data which are useful to the diacnostic and followed in the dynamical evolution under treatment , as well as a large quantity of numerical values represented by results of biological and functional analyzes. Last but not least, the doctor can also resort to qualitative descriptions of certain anomalies and so elaborate a report to patient or colleagues from other fields of medicine. So, in internal medicine there is usually a large accumulation of medical information, including thousands of medical charts, numerical data and also written medical reports..
As a result,this very complex application has been designed, which allows administration and interogation of such a databases which contain medical information and imaging. It can be used on-line, in this way allowing access from distanced users.
Besides the administration of information regarding patients and their consults, the application allows the user to store and see the imaging retrieved in order to establish a diacnostic. One of the most important functions of the software instrument is simple interogation based on text which allows finding the alphanumerical information that satisfies one or more criteria specified by the user.
What makes this medical application unique is the possibility to visually search based on the content after color characteristics which allows the establishment of a an interrogative image and finding in the database similiar images, which can be useful for establishing diacnostics.
The application will help to develop a database, with information on every patient and also a collection of images related to every patient. At every moment the user can search for a patient after different criteria. You can promptly see for every patient the diacnostics he received over time, what treatment he has been on, and also the medical images that have been colleced. You can create categories for images based on the doctor's activity: MRI, CT, mammography and ultrasound.
You can define workbenches so that a doctor framed for 1st unit can not see the patients of other doctors from other units. The doctor that has rights on unit 0 can see all patients of the clinic. The application is flexible in the way the rights are granted.
Furthermore, the application has a search module in imaging, with good precision that brings back very similar images to the image used as reference.This way the doctor can easily see what patients have had similar images and also see the treatment that has been prescribed. For this, the reference image will be selected, the "Reset" button has to be pushed -the reference image will appear in the left upper corner and then the button "Calculate distance" will be pushed. The images with the shortest distance will appear next to the image used as reference.
