Detection of Hard Exudates in Colour Fundus Images Using Fuzzy Support Vector Machine-Based Expert System.

Journal of digital imaging
Diabetic retinopathy is a major cause of vision loss in diabetic patients. Currently, there is a need for making decisions using intelligent computer algorithms when screening a large volume of data. This paper presents an expert decision-making syst...

[Development of a Knowledge-based Application Utilizing Ontologies for the Continuing Site-specific JJ1017 Master Maintenance].

Nihon Hoshasen Gijutsu Gakkai zasshi
The purpose of this study was to develop the JJ1017 Knowledge-based Application (JKA) to support the continuing maintenance of a site-specific JJ1017 master defined by the JJ1017 guideline as a standard radiologic procedure master for medical informa...

Implementation of a User-Friendly, Flexible Expert System for Selecting Optimal Set of Kidney Exchange Combinations of Patients in a Transplantation Center.

Transplantation proceedings
INTRODUCTION: For end-stage renal disease patients, kidney transplantation is the only long-term solution. The number of deceased donors is limited. Living kidney donation is subject to strict regulations, limiting possible donors only to the extende...

A method for knowledge acquisition in diagnostic expert system.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
Knowledge acquisition plays very important role in the diagnostic expert system. It usually takes a long period to acquire disease knowledge using the traditional methods. To solve this problem, this paper describes relations between rough set theory...

A sequential decision-theoretic model for medical diagnostic system.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
Although diagnostic expert systems using a knowledge base which models decision-making of traditional experts can provide important information to non-experts, they tend to duplicate the errors made by experts. Decision-Theoretic Model (DTM) is there...

Evidence reasoning method for constructing conditional probability tables in a Bayesian network of multimorbidity.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: The intrinsic mechanism of multimorbidity is difficult to recognize and prediction and diagnosis are difficult to carry out accordingly. Bayesian networks can help to diagnose multimorbidity in health care, but it is difficult to obtain t...

Open Ambient Intelligence Environments.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The present impact of ambient intelligence concepts in eInclusion is first briefly reviewed. Suggestions and examples of how ambient intelligent environments should be specified, designed and used to favour independent living of people with activity ...

Patient Empowerment through Personal Medical Recommendations.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Patients today have ample opportunities to inform themselves about their disease and possible treatments using the Internet. While this type of patient empowerment is widely regarded as having a positive influence on the treatment, there exists the p...

Annotation methods to develop and evaluate an expert system based on natural language processing in electronic medical records.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The objective of the SYNODOS collaborative project was to develop a generic IT solution, combining a medical terminology server, a semantic analyser and a knowledge base. The goal of the project was to generate meaningful epidemiological data for var...

A Cloud-Based Infrastructure for Feedback-Driven Training and Image Recognition.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Advanced techniques in machine learning combined with scalable "cloud" computing infrastructure are driving the creation of new and innovative health diagnostic applications. We describe a service and application for performing image training and rec...
