Medical diagnostics elaboration many times is a distributed and cooperative work, which involves more medical human specialists and different medical systems. Recent results described in the literature prove that medical diagnosis problems can be solved efficiently by large-scale medical multiagent systems. Cooperative diagnosing of medical diagnosis problems by large-scale multiagent systems m...

accurate information, concisely written, and arranged alphabetically. Beyond passing references to the affections giving rise to the symptoms under consideration, the author has avoided the discussion of diseases and has restricted the descriptions to the various signs and symptoms of disease. The consideration of diseased conditions is left to the text-books of medicine, for which the present ...

The importance of correct diagnosis of treatment cannot be over-estimated. student and half cure " is a well-known adage. To structure practitioner probing the mysteries of the hu enable and its ills, the need of full and accurate: data to^aWe him to diagnose the malady is the first de present is to guide the student in this direction that the volume is designed. , ? nrp, indeed a The names of ...

This research is to search for alternatives to the resolution of complex medical diagnosis where human knowledge should be apprehended in a general fashion. Successful application examples show that human diagnostic capabilities are significantly worse than the neural diagnostic system. This paper describes a modified feedforward neural network constructive algorithm (MFNNCA), a new algorithm f...

The Neural Networks are best at identifying patterns or trends in data and they are well suited for predicting or forecasting. Hence neural networks are extensively applied to biomedical systems. An analysis is carried out to motivate neural network applications in medical diagnosis. A special note is made on neural network effort on cancer diagnosis. This paper focuses on the importance of app...

The massive amount of data, required to learn how to diagnose, can be organized and turned into information to physicians using computers and Internet. In addition to atlases, the collaboration among professors, researchers, and students are decisive issues to consolidate the diagnostic knowledge. In order to tackle this problem, we propose a collaborative learning environment to support group ...

The diagnosis of infectious diseases has been revolutionized by the development of molecular techniques, foremost with the applications of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The achievable high sensitivity and ease with which the method can be used to detect any known genetic sequence have led to its wide application in the life sciences. More recently, real-time PCR assays have provided addi...

As medical data has increased in volume the physician has had difficulty in using the data effectively. One explanation seems to be that the large volume of data makes it a formidable task for the physician to remember the interrelationships among signs, symptoms, and laboratory tests for a wide variety of diseases. Thus, it seems that studies need to be undertaken which will attempt to analyze...
