Artificial Neural Networks for Diagnoses of Dysfunctions in Urology

Gil Mendez, David ; Johnsson, Magnus LU ; Soriano Paya, A and Ruiz Fernandez, D (2008) Healthinf 2008 2. p.191-196
Abstract
In this article we evaluate the work out

of artificial neural networks as tools for helping and support in

the medical diagnosis. In particular we compare the usability of one

supervised and two unsupervised neural network architectures for

medical diagnoses of lower urinary tract dysfunctions. The purpose

is to develop a system that aid urologists in obtaining diagnoses,

which will yield improved diagnostic accuracy and lower medical

treatment costs. The clinical study has been carried out using the

medical registers of patients with dysfunctions in the lower urinary

tract. The current system is able to distinguish and classify

dysfunctions as... (More)

urinary tract and patients free from dysfunction. (Less)
