The aim of this paper is to present the design of a service oriented architecture-based platform for medical image processing in assisted diagnosis. Service oriented architecture (SOA) improves the reusability and maintainability of distributed systems. In service oriented architectures, the most important element is the service, a resource provided to remote clients via a service contract. SOA-based systems may prove to be a good solution to address problems like large storage and expensive computational requirements faced in medical image processing applications. We propose a component-based platform which is not tied to a specific programming language or a specific technology. Our platform provides a repository that contains components used to create services.
