will use semantic keys and will allow finding cases meeting specified substantive
conditions related to image contents. This can significantly contribute to solving at
least some of the problems of intelligently archiving this type of data and finding
semantic image data fulfilling semantic criteria set using example image patterns
from medical multimedia databases.
