A multimedia medical database model and prototype is described for supporting a timeline-based presentation of information. The database links image and text data in a way that permits users to look at medical information in a single unified view. Various visualization programs permit the user to view data in various ways, including full image views, graphs, and tables. Our technology is applied for proof-of-concept to two areas: thoracic oncology and thermal tumor ablation therapy of the brain. This effort is part of the multidisciplinary KMeD project in collaboration with medical research and clinical treatment projects at UCLA.
