AIM To analyze the application significance of ultrasound contrast agent in identification and diagnosis of ocular spaceoccupying lesions, and mainly analyze its advantages and problems. METHODS Thirty-two representative literatures about the application of ultrasound contrast agent in diagnosis of spaceoccupying lesions at home and abroad were collected after focused on sorting the literatur...

A multiagent diagnostic system implemented in a ProtégéJADE-JESS environment interfaced with a dynamic simulator and database services is described in this paper. The proposed system architecture enables the use of a combination of diagnostic methods from heterogeneous knowledge sources. The process ontology and the process agents are designed based on the structure of the process system, while...

Trichophyton ( T .) mentagrophytes now accounts for an overwhelming majority of clinical cases in India, a new “Indian genotype” T. ITS genotype VIII) having been isolated from skin samples obtained across wide geographical distribution this country. The conventional diagnostic methods, like fungal culture, are, however, inadequate diagnosing agent. Thus, molecular methods diagnosis are necessa...

This paper presents a new concept for building up a monitoring and diagnosis system for complex industrial application. For this purpose, a multi-agent architecture was developed that employs the FIPA-ACL (Agent Communication Language developed by the Foundation for Physical Agents) [FIPA97] together with the CORBA (Common Object Request Broker) [CORBA] middleware as the underlying platform. By...

Coronary artery fistulas have been diagnosed with aortography, coronary angiography, and coronary computed tomography (CT). A large fistula can be occasionally found as a mass lesion on echocardiography but cannot be easily confirmed. Here, we report a new diagnostic approach to coronary artery fistulas using a contrast agent and transthoracic echocardiography. Transthoracic echocardiography of...

in this paper, a formal model for antivirus update agent system is presented based on mobile agent technology and predicate/transition petri nets. the mobile agent system contains two mobile agents called dca and una. it sends out agents to update antivirus on client computers in a network. each agent takes on a specified responsibility. first, dca roams through the network and check the last d...
