An active image information system for biomedical image databases is developed based upon the concept of smart images. A smart image is an image with an associated knowledge structure, consisting of protocols, hot spots, active indexes and attributes. This active image information system supports the objectives of timely delivery and easy accessibility of biomedical image data. The experimental prototype of the smart image system is developed by researchers at the Department of Computer Science and tested at the Cardiology Division of the University of Pittsburgh. The decision protocols are implemented using the smart image system, so that a physician or a cardiologist can retrieve and display images from different sources, and conduct the normal diagnostic procedures. The automation of this medical image information gathering and archiving process greatly benefits the cardiologists to relieve them from the tedious repeated work and to enable them to concentrate on patient treatment. The active image information system and medical image databases will also provide a testbed for advanced research in image databases, with potential applications to process control, power plant outage management and other areas.

基于智能图像的概念，开发了一个生物医学图像数据库的主动图像信息系统。 智能映像是具有相关知识结构的映像，包括协议、热点、活动索引和属性。这一主动图像信息系统支持及时提供和方便获取生物医学图像数据的目标。智能图像系统的实验原型由计算机科学系的研究人员开发，并在匹兹堡大学心脏病学分部进行测试。 决策协议使用智能图像系统来实现，使得医师或心脏病专家可以从不同的源检索和显示图像，并且进行正常的诊断程序。 这种医学图像信息收集和存档过程的自动化极大地有利于心脏病专家，使他们从繁琐的重复工作中解脱出来，并使他们能够专注于患者治疗。 主动图像信息系统和医学图像数据库还将为图像数据库的高级研究提供试验平台，并可能应用于过程控制、发电厂停电管理和其他领域。
