The research which is presented in this proposal is aimed at the design and development of knowledge-based systems (KBS) for the analysis and diagnosis of medical images. Medical imaging is a fundamental aspect of numerous clinical decisions and its importance continues to increase in many areas of medicine. In recent years, the substantial developments in the field of computer technology have created remarkable progress in many areas including medical image processing. Among the different techniques used for medical imaging tasks, knowledge-based methods attempt to utilize the information that creates the appropriate models for image understanding and interpretation. The aim of this work is to provide a specific view as to how the information originating from the medical image context can be combined with a comprehensive knowledge-based technique to help solve the following problems:
