Analysis of the MIDAS and OASIS Biomedical Databases for the Application of Multimodal Image Processing

Abstract

In the last two decades, significant advancement occurs related to medical imaging modalities and image processing techniques. In biomedical imaging, the accuracy of a diagnosed area of interest can be increased using a multimodal dataset of patients. A lot of research and techniques are proposed for processing and analysis of multimodal imaging, which requires datasets for benchmarking and validation of their performances. In this connection, two important databases: MIDAS and OASIS are selected and evaluated for the guidance of the researcher to perform their results in the field of multimodal imaging. The associated diseases to these datasets and open issues in the field of multimodal imaging are also discussed. The main objective of this article is to discuss the current interest of the researcher and open platforms for future research in multimodal medical imaging. We originate some statistical results of graphs and charts using the online Web Analysis tool “SIMILIARWEB” to show public interest on these databases and also arranged these datasets according to various modalities, body scanned areas, disease-based and classification of images to motivate researchers working in multimodal medical areas. The significance of these databases in the field of multimodal image processing is encapsulated by graphical charts and statistical results.
