Web-based Medical Information Retrieval System (WebMIRS)Project Member(s): Michael Bopf, L. Rodney Long, George Thoma
The Web-based Medical Information Retrieval System (WebMIRS) is a research
tool that facilitates the dissemination of biomedical database information
across a wide-area network. It is implemented as a Java application and is
distributed using the Java Web Start technology. It allows database access to
text and associated x-ray images either through a standard Web browser or
directly from the user's desktop. It seeks to address a number of critical
issues surrounding medical data such as preservation of data integrity,
efficient data transmission, capability to export results to other software and
multimedia exploitation. In its initial implementation, it is based on data
from the multi-year NHANES II and NHANES III surveys (National Health and
Nutrition Examination Surveys) collected by the National Center for Health
Statistics.
The Multimedia Database Tool (MDT) aims to generalize and expand upon the WebMIRS capabilities by permitting greater variety in image types and data repositories.
