A framework for agent-based analysis of big collections of medical image data

Abstract

This paper introduces an agent-based framework for the analysis of very large collections of medical image data. Towards this end, a scalable and highly flexible architecture of distributed image computing is suggested which utilizes the agent-based approach and some solutions borrowed from recent Big Data technology. The medical image analysis power stems from the idea of dynamic N-tuples of varying lengths and different ways of sampling of image elements. As of now, the framework remains on its early stage.
