摘要

This paper presents a medical image viewer implemented in Java whose innovative features are: on the one hand, its capability for visual edition and storage of measurements involved in diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis (a medical condition in which the patient%26apos;s spine is curved) and performed on digital X-rays; on the other hand, its capability for retrieving images in a flexible way from medical image databases on the basis of those measurements, which are the standard method for diagnosing this pathology. Hence, the viewer is intended to be a useful tool for physicians in diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis.
