Abstract

In this paper, MapReduce is used to speed up and make possible three large-scale medical image processing use-cases: (i) parameter optimization for lung texture classification using support vector machines (SVM), (ii) content-based medical image indexing, and (iii) three-dimensional directional wavelet analysis for solid texture classification.
