            Abstract : 
The brain CT image database is the result of the efforts made at the No. 161 Center Hospital for accurately diagnosing encephalic illness. How to prevent the man-made error and improve the interpret level for brain CT images, is the purpose of this database, so the content-based semantic brain CT image retrieval process become important. We adopt some methods in order to overcome the semantic gap between low-level visual features with high-level semantic features. Finally, we apply a new complex similarity query algorithm to fulfill the image retrieval.
