Abstract:
A method, a processing device, and a computer program product are provided. At least one processing device correlates textual medical information related to the subject with characteristics of an image of a medical condition of the subject to generate a subject signature. The at least one processing device compares the subject signature with multiple reference signatures to determine at least one reference signature corresponding to the subject signature. Each reference signature is associated with a corresponding medical condition and is generated by correlating textual medical information regarding the corresponding medical condition with characteristics of an image of the corresponding medical condition. The at least one processing device identifies the medical condition of the subject based on the medical conditions associated with the determined at least one reference signature. Information is provided regarding the identified medical condition of the subject.
